Opus One

About this wine

A joint venture between Château Mouton Rothschild's Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, Opus One set the benchmark for Napa's 'first growths' from its first vintage in 1979. The 2018 growing season was excellent — a warm, dry year that produced exceptional fruit concentration.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby-purple with violet edges. An elegant nose of dark cherry, crème de cassis, and violet leads into layers of dark chocolate, graphite, and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, it is simultaneously full-bodied and precise — silky tannins, a creamy mid-palate, and a long, mineral finish that lingers with tobacco and dried flowers.
