Opus One Red Blend 2021
UPDATED 12/12/2024 10% OFF OPUS ONE WITH PROMO CODE 'ONLYOPUS' From The Winemaker The 2021 Opus One effuses seductive, dark-fruit aromas of crushed cassis, blackberry, and black cherry with subtle hints of violet, vanilla, and baking spices. Bright and fresh on the attack, concentrated flavors mirror the aromas and are coupled with an exceptionally plush, creamy texture in the mid-palate from the fine-grained tannins. Poignant notes of black tea, licorice, and dark chocolate lead to a long lingering finish. With attentive cellaring, the wine will delight for decades to come.
