Opus One 2011
Like a symphony from one of the great composers, Opus One's 2011 vintage, aged over 18 months in oak barrels, has risen, like a phoenix, a passionate masterpiece from California's Napa Valley.
Expressing aromas of bright red fruits, and garden herbs, this wine is subtle on the palate with black tea and a hint of white pepper. A creamy, rich texture, full round tannins envelope the senses, as the flavors dance across the tongue, fresh ripe cherry laced through with bitter-sweet dark, velvety chocolate that closes slowly to a satin smooth finish with a delicate lingering tannin after taste.
