Fairly dry and light. A bit of acidity, low tannins. Wish it was more full bodied and complex. Finish also short. — 21 days ago

2018, somehow the vintage was omitted while uploading. Probably a bug with the delectable app

Araujo Estate

Altagracia Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Crazy restaurant wine list value @ $190, I think.

Modest decant. Dark red color. Nose contains blackberries, olives, and anise. Unique on the palate as it’s a mix of Napa Cab, CDP, and Rioja. Medium plus depth with big tannins, a silky texture, and high alcohol present.

Opus One

Overture Napa Valley Petit Verdot Blend

Opus One – Overture Red Blend N/V 🍷
A symphonic second wine by Opus One, this multi-vintage blend (2014, 2015, 2016) was acquired in 2019, right before the shift toward vintage-specific releases like the 2021 onwards.

Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this bottle reflects Napa’s grandeur with flexibility in blending and extended time in barrel, allowing for elegance, depth, and harmony to shine through.

👃 Aromatics open with expressive layers of ripe cherry, red currant, and a fresh, youthful lift of red fruit.
👄 On the palate: a beautifully rounded texture, woven with earthy cocoa, mahogany, and subtle vanilla. Silky tannins and a graceful structure speak of its extra time in oak, building toward a soft yet persistent finish.

Overall mouthfeel: Plush, polished, and deeply enjoyable. The structure and spice make it ideal for grilled meats, braised dishes, or contemplative sipping.

A timeless expression, not just a second label, but a well-composed tribute to the artistry of Mondavi & Rothschild, and a celebration of Napa’s capacity to age with finesse. 🥂
