Opus One 750ml

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Opus One 750ml envelops your senses in a tapestry of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and subtle graphite, unfolding with layers of dark chocolate and a whisper of cedar. Crafted in the United States with an alcohol by volume of 14.00%, this iconic Bordeaux-style blend harmonizes Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure with Merlot’s plushness, accented by hints of Petit Verdot and Malbec for depth and finesse. Its velvety tannins and vibrant acidity make it a sublime companion to lamb or beef, elevating each bite with its lingering finish and elegant complexity.

Producer Information: Opus One Winery

Opus One Winery, located in the heart of Napa Valley’s Oakville AVA, was established in 1978 as a groundbreaking collaboration between Robert Mondavi, a pioneer of California winemaking, and Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux. Their vision was to unite Old World French tradition with New World innovation, crafting a single Bordeaux-style blend that would express the unique terroir of Napa Valley. The winery’s meticulous approach centers on sustainable vineyard practices and precision winemaking techniques that highlight the character of their estate vineyards. While Opus One is singularly focused on its flagship wine—a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend—its influence has elevated Oakville’s status within the global fine wine category. The estate does not produce other wines or spirits under its own label, instead dedicating all resources to perfecting this singular expression of place and partnership.
