Bordeaux Blend
| Vintage: | 2012 |

| Description: | Mother Nature favored the 2012 vintage with a superb growing season characterized by moderate temperatures and bountiful sunshine. At harvest, the fruit exhibited intense flavor, layers of complexity and excellent structure. Picking started on September 21st and continued through October 20th. The wine effuses dark fruit aromas accentuated by subtler notes of forest-floor and graphite. The wines round mouthfeel and satiny tannins wrap around classic flavors of cassis, blackberry and black cherry. This refined and age-worthy wine offers lively acidity and a sturdy structure with a long lingering finish. Other text Michael Silacci continues to push the envelope of quality, which is remarkable for many reasons, the most important of which is the sheer scale of Opus One, which has no equal in Napa Valley at this level. One of the more recent developments at Opus One is an increased use of co-fermentations. As good as these bottled wines are, I am often just as impressed by the lots and blends I taste at Opus One that aren't bottled, as those wines say just as much about what the ambitions are at this reference point estate. -From Brilliance in Napa Valley: The 2016 & 2015 Cabernets (Jan 2018) by Antonio Galloni. |
