Since 1993, Overture has been an expression of place across time. In keeping with an internal desire to underscore the importance of the growing season, Opus One has taken the necessary steps for Overture to become a vintage-dated wine. In doing so, Opus One intends to emphasize the diversity of our estate with a renewed focus.
The fruit is harvested and vinified with the same care, precision, and attention to detail as Opus One. Unique aromatics, flavors, and textures are recognized as ideal for Overture — more red fruit, herbal characteristics, soft tannins, and creamy texture.
The 2023 season opened with early rains, highlighted by a substantial storm ahead of budbreak. In total, 36.12 inches of rainfall fueled this growing season. Vineyard growth followed Estate averages: budbreak on April 12th, bloom on May 30th, and veraison on August 11th. Summer remained cool and without notable heat events. Harvest began September 14th and concluded October 16th. Fruit was brought in at an even pace, preserving freshness and balance.
Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon 91%, Merlot 4%, Petit Verdot 3.4%, Cabernet Franc 1%, Malbec 0.5%
Skin Contact: 22 days
Barrel Aging: 19 months in new French oak
Overture 2023 presents aromas of blueberry, blackberry, and black currant, with notes of sweet cedar, fresh florals, and hints of caramel. Silky and approachable, the wine unfolds into a vibrant expression of juicy fruits on the palate — red cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate — accented by wild strawberry, and red plum. Medium bodied with a finely textured mouthfeel and fresh acidity. Enjoyable now, the long, expressive finish suggests years of aging.
