Overture 2023 Red Napa Valley (from Opus One)

SFWP Score 93+ 

Plump and juicy, this already delicious bottling opens with focused, forthcoming aromas of blueberry, cherry, clove, cedar, nutmeg, licorice root, sweet tobacco and a hint of baking spice. Moderate yet attractively polished tannins are quietly notable on the mid-palate, where oaky richness counterpoints a more a fruit dominant yet rather coiled vesion of the aromatic profile. On the mid-palate, red cherry and blueberry flavors hold center-stage through a long, caressing finish. Epect this dinner balanced beauty to improve for another two or three years and be delicious for the following decade.
