Opus One, Napa Valley

Notes

A glorious nose promises wonderful things for the future as dark sultry fruit combines with a floral element and strong suggestions of crushed rocks. Perfumed in a sultry, complex way, the extra ripeness over the 2011 is immediately obvious. Super sleek tannins are encased in rich concentrated fruit with sweet spice and roasted earth notes providing extra interest go smorgasboard of red and darks fruits. A very fine Opus One with a long future ahead. 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 2% Malbec and harvest lasted from 21st September until 2nd October. Aged for 18 months in new French oak.

Notes

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is supple and radiant throughout, with gorgeous suppleness and purity to the flavors. Sweet red cherry, hard candy, raspberry wild flowers and cinnamon are some of the notes that grace the palate. Racy and forward, yet classically mid-weight in structure, the 2012 is likely to drink well pretty much upon release. Once quite rich, the 2012 is developing into a wine of finesse and open-knit sensuality.
