From the heart of the Oakville district, every acre of the estate is farmed with meticulous, parcel-by-parcel attention under winemaking director Michael Silacci, and the fruit is shaped into one flagship wine each vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 comes from a cool, balanced Napa growing season and is a classic, finesse-driven Opus One, aged in French oak and built for decades in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReview:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 2023 Opus One is a super classic wine. Brisk acids, fine tannins and lifted aromatics signal an Opus One of exquisite finesse and class. Red\/purplish fruit, mint, orange peel and chalk are all woven together in a fabric of nearly indescribable class. The 2023 floats on the palate with understated finesse and lightness, but it's not light in any way. This is class personified.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Antonio Galloni, Vinous 98 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe bouquet is utterly enticing, offering cool blue-fruit notes and a dusting of cocoa-powder freshness that stirs anticipation for the first sumptuous sip. On the palate, satiny richness unfolds, imbued with crunchy red cherry and juicy blackberry fruit, alongside refined sagebrush and tobacco nuances. There is a sense of intricately fine-knit tannins – compact yet impressively integrated at this youthful stage – framed by subtle, refined oak spice. The finish is long and mineral, marked by graphite and a touch of black sea salt. The wine was fermented entirely with native yeasts in stainless steel, with a portion aged in amphora in this vintage, before maturing for 19 months in 95% new French oak. The blend is rounded out by small additions of Malbec and Petit Verdot. In 2023, the vines were farmed regeneratively for the first time, with harvest completed by mid-October.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Decanter 98 Points\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"timelesswinesdirect.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67947634786458,"sku":"168219","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/opus22_cur.jpg?v=1792821667","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/opus-one-2023","provider":"timelesswinesdirect.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
