OPUS ONE 2018, Napa

The floral notes are just incredible—it really does smell like violets and lavender in a glass. Full-bodied but so balanced, it's dangerously easy to drink.

This is the first wine I've had where the graphite and slate notes actually come through on the palate, not just the nose. The body is full but the tannins are so silky it almost feels light, and that balance makes it dangerously easy to drink.

The lavender and violet aromas hit you right away, even before you taste it. That full-bodied feel with the sweet blackberries makes it dangerously easy to drink.
