2022 Seduction

Alluring and expressive right from the glass. The 2022 O’Brien Estate Seduction is highly perfumed and layered, the nose offers an elegant fusion of dark fruits—black cherry, blackberry, and plum—woven seamlessly with fragrant notes of violets, baking spice, and a subtle lift of floral perfume. Beneath this vivid fruit character lies a compelling savory core: crushed rock, fresh earth, cedar, humus, and hints of graphite.

On the palate, the wine is bold, full-bodied, and fruit-driven, yet impeccably balanced. Rich flavors of Crème de cassis and Chambord meet baker’s cocoa and savory tones, delivering a depth that evolves with each sip. The tannins are youthful and firmly structured, giving the wine an architectural backbone that supports its plush texture and generous finish. Despite its current power and intensity, there’s a refined harmony at play—between ripe fruit, spice, and earth—that suggests both sophistication and age-worthiness.

This is a wine that not only captures the essence of a warm Napa Valley vintage but also expresses the timeless style of a classic Bordeaux blend.
