Opus One is a wine created by a partnership between Napa Valley winemaker Robert Mondavi and French winemaker Baron Philippe de Rothschild, who also owns Château Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux. From the start, they aimed to make a top-quality Napa Valley wine inspired by the classic Bordeaux style, focusing mainly on Cabernet Sauvignon. The first Opus One wine came out in 1979, and it quickly became extremely popular. Today, it’s still one of the most prized wines in the U.S
A classical vintage that perfectly suits the Opus style. Gorgeous vivid plum color, sculpted, balanced, with a ton of lift, waves of rose petals, iris and peony, soft grilled cumin, sage, and white pepper spice. Love the hidden power here and the supple slightly chalky tannins that are structured in their architecture with a precision and carved quality. Precise, layered and stretched out, a brilliant Opus, concentrated and yet delicate. Feels pared back and captures the spirit of early Opus, when it moved forward the conversation of what Napa could be. Michael Silacci director, 100% new oak for aging extremely well integrated even now. 100 points by Jane Anson.
