Opus One 2022 750

The dark fruit notes are really concentrated in this 2022, and it has that classic Napa structure without being too heavy. I opened it to let it breathe for about an hour, and it just kept getting smoother. Definitely worth the price for a special occasion bottle.

The 750 mL bottle is a perfect size for a dinner party, and the Cabernet Sauvignon itself has that classic California depth I crave. I’ve already opened one with a steak, and the finish lingered beautifully long after the glass was empty.

I'm surprised by how much the 2022 vintage opened up after just an hour in the decanter—the fruit and tannins balanced beautifully. That 750 ml bottle was more than enough for a long, lingering dinner.
