VARIETY
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit
Verdot and Malbec.
Colour Notes
Deep ruby, lighter around the rim.
Aroma Notes
Intense, rich and ripe nose characteristic of Napa Valley.
Palate Notes
The blackberry and cassis characters of Cabernet Sauvignon
melds seamlessly with the black cherry, red current, violet
and deep plum of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and
Malbec. Barrel aging weaves in the nuances of vanilla and
toasty oak spices while enhancing the wine’s elegant texture
and sensual mouthfeel. By blending several vintages, the
spectrum of nuances is broadened and enhances the soft,
supple mid-palate, which are the hallmarks of Overture.

Then multi-vintage blend that until recently has been available only at the winery in
Napa Valley, now being commercialised to beat the drum a bit more for Opus. Deep
ruby with a pale rim. Very sweet, ripe, penetrating nose that screams Napa Valley.
An edge of cocoa. Light, lively and open with just a little bit of rusty nail on the end.
Perfectly friendly...
