Founded as a joint venture between Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild in 1978, Opus One represents the perfect marriage of Old World tradition and New World innovation. Opus One is renowned for its meticulous winemaking process. Each vintage is a masterful blend, predominantly of Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. The result is a wine of remarkable depth, complexity, and aging potential. Its rich bouquet of dark fruit, cassis, and subtle oak, coupled with a velvety tannin structure, creates a harmonious and unforgettable tasting experience. This wine is not only a testament to exceptional viticulture but also to the art of blending. It pairs exquisitely with premium cuts of beef, lamb, and gourmet cheeses, making it a versatile choice for any sophisticated palate. For those seeking a wine that offers both prestige and exceptional quality, Opus One stands as a beacon. It is a must-have for any collector and a prized centerpiece for any celebratory occasion.
Reviews
Composed of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot and 2% Malbec, Opus One’s 2015 Proprietary Red Wine is truly an iron fist in a velvet glove, delivering a powerhouse of flavors and structure with a seductively plush texture. It opens with a deep garnet-purple color and wonderfully spicy notes of cinnamon stick, cloves and fenugreek with a core of cherry preserves, redcurrant jelly, blackberry pie and warm plums plus hints of camphor, lavender and cigar box. Full-bodied, rich and bold in the mouth, it fills the palate with exotic spice-laced black and red fruits, framed by firm, beautifully ripe, grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing with epic persistence. Although it is already approachable, allow it another 3-5 years in bottle for its myriad of subtle accents to fully blossom and then drink it over the next 30+ years.
