WINE OF THE WEEK:
Switching gears this week, after several weeks
of great, inexpensive, every day WOW’s.
Not that everyone will be rushing in to buy this
wine to have with their Tuesday dinner.
But the holidays are almost here, which means
sometimes we want something extra special.
Something like the 2013 Opus One from Oakville,
Napa Valley. 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot.
A perfect 100 point score from James Suckling:
“The greatest Opus ever. Terrific aromas of crushed
black currants, blueberries and flowers with hints of
sweet tobacco. Roses continue to exude opulence
and class. Full body, superb balance of ultra-fine tannins
and vibrant acidity. Complex aftertaste of black fruits and
citrus fruit. Extremely persistent. So approachable now
and enjoyable. But will be even better in 2019 and beyond.
This will always be beautiful to drink.”
Perfection, of course, costs money. 249.97/bottle
in this case.
100 point wines are rare. And they make an incredible
gift for someone else… or for yourself!
