2002 Opus One

The 2002 Opus One is deep garnet.  Showing nuances of dried strawberry, vanilla bean and mocha in the nose, the wine offers lavish flavors of cassis, black cherry, plum and espresso. A marriage of richness and restraint, the wine combines a lean, vibrant entry with profound mid-palate density.  Silky tannins and a seamless balance enhance a long, unwavering finish accented by bittersweet chocolate and a hint of smoke.
