It’s always a pleasure to taste with head winemaker Michael Silacci, as he has such a deep perspective on Napa Valley. In 2022, harvest began on August 24 for the Merlot and September 2 for the Cabernet Sauvignon (the earliest ever here) and ran uninterrupted through September 26. To be sure, larger estates like Opus One are especially pushed to the edge in difficult years because they are essentially forced to pick through the challenging weather, as the alternative is losing a portion of the crop. The just-bottled 2022 is still coming together, but it is promising, while the 2021 continues to impress.
