The essence of place
Since 1993, Overture has been an expression of place across time. In keeping with an internal desire to underscore the importance of the growing season, Opus One has taken the necessary steps for Overture to become a vintage-dated wine. In doing so, Opus One intends to emphasize the diversity of our estate with a renewed focus.
Over the years our winemaker, Michael Silacci, and his team have come to deeply understand the individual blocks within the vineyards. Farming practices may then be adjusted at the block level to enable the vines to fully capture the quality of the estate.? The majority of our vineyards are planted in alluvial soils in the extreme western part of the Oakville, AVA, at the foot of the Mayacamas mountains.
The fruit is harvested and vinified with the same care, precision, and attention to detail as Opus One. Unique aromatics, flavors, and textures are recognized as ideal for Overture — more red fruit, herbal characteristics, soft tannins, and creamy texture.
Estate Map
This map represents the Opus One estate and its relationship with the topography of the region. In this map, we have chosen to showcase vineyard placement as it relates to the winery, updated row orientation, as well as the diverse topography of the valley as a whole.
Soil Map
This soil map calls to focus the unique topography of the Opus One estate and illustrates the diversity of the vineyard. Each color represents the unique combination of materials that create diverse fruit profiles – rust representing clay, gray representing gravel, and gold representing sand. Additionally, we can highlight the geographical elements that make our estate unique. Following the lines which represent the Alluvial fan as they meet the gentle crest, we are able to see a shift in soil types which contributes to determining the final blends of Opus One and Overture.
Mother nature does not recognize man-made barriers, so the alluvial soils continue underneath the main highway in front of Opus One.? However, as one approaches the Napa River, the amount of gravel decreases and finer clay, and silt starts to increase. The availability of water also grows. This fluvial soil was created by the periodic flooding of the river. The demarcation between the soil types is marked by a gentle rise in the topography which creates a crest (see vineyard map).? The team learned that these eastern blocks were regularly delivering grapes with more red fruit flavors and fresh herbal characteristics with soft tannins, creamy texture, and a lingering finish.?These attributes are ideally suited for our goals for Overture specifically regarding approachability, and suppleness.
Given this understanding, the team was afforded an opportunity to express the character of the estate blocks while capturing the distinctiveness of the vintage; but, in a decidedly different way than Opus One because of the unique geology of these parcels. In 2021, the team meticulously blended the first vintage-dated Overture. This wine delivers all the approachability and softness for which it is renowned, but with the added benefit of highlighting the sole characteristics of the 2021 growing season. Overture 2021 will be released in 2024.?

With some of these states, for example Alabama, we are able to ship to an ABC store nearest to you.
It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!
Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.
We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.
Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.
Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.
While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.
Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.
Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)
Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."
Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.
Sometimes an order is returned to our warehouse after several delivery attempts at the address provided by the customer. We are happy to reship the order however, reshipment fees will apply. Please contact us and we will assist you with the reshipment arrangements.
