Product Notes

Opus One Napa Valley Wine exemplifies seamless harmony, presenting an impeccable blend of rich, ripe, black fruits and vibrant acidity. Renowned for its robust and full-bodied character, it delivers a distinctive palate of dark cherries, splattered with a medley of spices and smooth oak nuances. An ethereal fragrance of dark fruits, accompanied by a hint of earthy undertones, teases the senses. Opulent and age-worthy, this wine, hailing from California's esteemed winemaking region, joyously blends the opulence of Bordeaux varieties. Each sip invites a crescendo of complex flavours, capturing the whimsical essence of Napa Valley’s terroir.

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.

Its sprawling terraced vineyards, underground cellars, and the strikingly circular Grand Chai echo the founders' audacious spirit and their uncompromising pursuit of perfection.

Opus One specialises in crafting one extraordinary blend each year, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, with touches of Merlot, Cabernet Franc., Petit Verdot and Malbec. These wines renowned for their remarkable depth, complexity and sheer vibrance, are a testament to the winery's commitment to quality and innovativeness.

Through continual investment in sustainable farming and barrel-ageing techniques, Opus One has kept evolving, only honing their iconic status in the world of fine wines. Their wines exquisite and are highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike. This should stand as your reason to explore the immersive tasting experience that this legendary winery offers.
