Description

2022 Opus One, Overture, Napa Valley, California, USASuper intense and complex aromas of overt cassis, chocolate, blueberries, bell pepper, hints of red fruit, vanilla bean, roses and musk. Intense and flavours presented with rounded creaminess, with lovely weight of tannins, although soft, allowing early drinking but also extended cellaring. Flavours present themselves slowly, in a layered but purposeful way, culminating in a long and delightful finish. Overall, it is fresh and superbly balanced.

pipe tobacco and lime zest

perhaps the best since the great 1986

good intensity and balance

This wine really captures the trademark freshness of the 2022 vintage and is a wonderful example of the quality produced in Pomerol that year

Heitz is renowned for crafting Napa Valley’s first “cult” wines

Perfumed red currant fruit jumps straight out of the glass

Beautifully balanced with aromas of ripe autumnal fruit and coffee

The Rosé is a blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir

hedgerow fruit and ripe but refreshingly firm tannins

leading to an extraordinarily vibrant finish

Based on the 2008 vintage

Fine with exceptionally fine tannins this has a lovely rounded finish with more than a hint of the savoury minerality of the vintage
