The supposed second wine of Opus One, the non-vintage Overture is more like a greatest hits. An assemblage of the 2007, 2010 and 2011 vintages, Overture is comprised of the same five varieties (and vineyards) as its more famous sibling, with each component seeing an extended time in barrel. A tougher find than Opus One, Overture was offered to retailers for the first time in 2014.
