Opus One is a prestige Bordeaux-style blend from the Oakville subregion of Napa Valley, United States. This iconic estate was born from the legendary partnership between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, who sought to create a single, uncompromising wine that transcends geography.

Wine Description

This vintage presents a deep ruby colour with a purple-tawny rim. The aromatic profile is rich and inviting, offering primary scents of blueberry, cassis, and dried rose petals underscored by complex notes of olive, cigar box, and graphite. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and balanced, featuring bright red fruit flavours, cocoa, and fresh orange peel that lead into a long, elegant finish with touches of wet stone, vanilla, and coffee.
