($75; 48% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon, 8% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot) Deep red-ruby. Very ripe aromas of plum liqueur, cherry and licorice pastille. Supple and fine-grained but at the same time spicy and juicy. A fleshy, nicely dense wine with good lingering sweetness.

A new offering made from lots culled out from their barrels, the seductive, charming 2007 Endre (40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) is a sleeper of the vintage with a magnetic hedonism. White chocolate, dark berries, and lots of flesh are reminiscent of a ripe Pomerol vintage. It is best drunk during its first decade of life. This offering was originally called Overture #1, but because Opus One has a second wine called Overture, the name was changed to Endre. Some readers may have bought this wine at the winery with a Overture #1 label. Be assured, it is the same wine as the Endre.

A rich, graceful style, offering loamy earth, blackberry and wild berry fruit, with graphite, mineral and cedar notes. Full-bodied and balanced, ending with a complex display of dried berry and earth. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
