The Opus has the elegance of Bordeaux and the boldness of Napa Valley. Sensuously and elegantly intoxicating, notes of floral violets, perfume, lavender and oak and a sprinkling of hibiscus. On the palate heavy dark fruits, blackberry, chocolate, cocoa, oak, cherry and raspberry. Strong tannins keep these flavors and aromas in balance.
     This one has a long and lengthy finish with wonderful consistency.
