Opus One Overture
Description
Opus One Overture is the most immediate and open expression of the prestigious Opus One Winery project. This 2023 release, conceived as a multi-vintage wine, is crafted from a carefully selected blend of wines that share the same origin and exacting standards as the flagship Opus One.
The result is a Bordeaux-inspired red, led by Cabernet Sauvignon, noted for its harmony, smoothness, and depth—made to be enjoyed upon release, without the need for extended cellaring. Overture captures the essence of Napa Valley through a more accessible, elegant, contemporary lens.

Winery
Founded in 1979, Opus One Winery was born from a historic collaboration between two great visions of wine: European tradition and Californian innovation. Located in Oakville, in the heart of Napa Valley, the winery works exclusively with estate vineyards and a philosophy of utmost precision.
Overture reflects the same approach as the house’s flagship wine—preserving its DNA of elegance, balance, and complexity—yet with a more immediate, versatile character.
