Product Notes

Opus One Napa Valley wine is a distinguished embodiment of lavishness and complexity. A joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, this iconic wine elegantly merges traditional French and Californian wine-making techniques. Each vintage delivers a robust blend; predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with notes of Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec. It emanates an array of tantalising aromas such as blackcurrant, spice, and coffee with a velvety texture on the palate. The exhibits of opulence, harmony, and balance make it a collector's wine, a symbol of luxury among connoisseurs. Matured with meticulous crafting, Opus One is indeed a testament to Napa Valley's supremacy.

Tasting Notes

The Opus One 2019 has intense aromas of black plum, blueberry, black currant, and dried rose petals, accentuated by mineral undertones. The creamy, satiny texture is framed by fine-grained tannins. The freshness and soft glow of acidity create a subtle tension with dark fruit flavors, savory herbs, espresso, and cocoa. A delicate dark chocolate bitterness lingers on the finish.
