Opus One is a prestigious Bordeaux-style red blend from Napa Valley, California and one of the most famous wineries in the world.

Founded in 1978 as a joint venture between French wine royalty Baron Philippe de Rothschild (Château Mouton Rothschild) and Californian wine pioneer Robert Mondavi, aiming to create a world-class New World wine. Made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with other Bordeaux grapes, it's known for its richness, complexity, and age-worthiness, with a hallmark of power and finesse, offering dark fruit, spice, and chocolate notes. It's produced at the Oakville AVA estate, with its signature wine and a second wine called Overture.

Winemaker Michael Silacci commented that usually the blends are finished in January or February after the vintage. This year, with the 2019s, he was still tweaking the blend, but he did mention that this is "pretty close to the final blend."
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Opus One leaps from the glass with notes of Black Forest cake, Morello cherries, mulberries and fresh blackcurrants plus hints of licorice, wilted roses, Sichuan pepper and iron ore. Full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with juicy black, blue and red fruits, framed by velvety tannins and background freshness, finishing on a compelling earthy/mineral note. Tasted as a barrel sample, this is a truly magnificent Opus One in the making!
