Opus One (6 x 75cl) 2021
Opus One was founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, the legendary owner of Château Mouton Rothschild, and renowned Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. Their shared vision was to bring together the winemaking traditions and innovations of both families to craft an exceptional wine in the heart of Napa Valley. Driven by a passion for uncompromising quality, Opus One strives to embody this vision and passionate spirit for generations to come.
Opus One 2021 is a tribute to Cabernet Sauvignon. The vintage was predominantly dry, marking it as the second driest in Opus One`s history, with cooler temperatures and no excessive heat. These conditions allowed the Cabernet Sauvignon to flourish, composing an impressive 93% of the blend. Opus One 2021 exudes enticing dark-fruit aromas, with a bright, fresh attack. The concentrated flavors echo these aromas, accompanied by a lush, creamy texture on the mid-palate, thanks to the fine-grained tannins.
Awarded 100 points by Jane Anson: "A classical vintage that perfectly suits the Opus style."
Opus One
Known as NapaMedoc for the first three vintages and rebranded in 1982 as Opus One, this iconic Californian winery was founded as a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi. The objective was to recreate a First Growth level, Bordeaux style wine in the Napa Valley and by every measure, they succeeded. The Grand Vin is a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot and is aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak before being laid down for a further 18 months to mature in bottle. Since 1993, they have produced a second wine, Overture.
The winemaker is Micheal Silacci who apprenticed under legendary Napa winemakers Andre Tchelistcheff and Warren Winiarski and previously held positions at Beaulieu Vineyard and Stag's Leap Wine Cellars.
