Fantastic aromas that are complex and complete with blackcurrants, blueberries and herbs, such as basil and bay leaf. But always subtle. Full-bodied yet linear and very refined with a very persistent finish. It shows drive and brightness. So refined at the end. Needs at least three to five years to come together. <br/>
98 Robert Parker
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Opus One offers up bold, expressive black and blue fruits: warm black plums, black cherries, blackcurrants and wild blueberries with a beautiful undercurrent of lilacs, roses, fertile loam, underbrush and Indian spices. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is a tightly coiled spring ready to explode, with fantastic tension and wonderfully ripe, very fine-grained tannins, finishing very long with a mineral lift.

A focused, restrained style, with a steady beam of fresh red and black currant preserve flavors, laced with bay leaf, cedar and tobacco notes. An iron edge pierces the finish, while the fruit keeps pace. A bit more classically backward than its Oakville peers, so tuck this away in the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Best from 2020 through 2038. 21,900 cases made. — JM

Opus One Winery
La collaborazione tra la famiglia europea più famosa nel mondo del vino (i Rothschild) e uno dei grandi pionieri del Nuovo Mondo (Mondavi) ha dato vita a questa leggendaria tenuta californiana. Creata nel 1978 con una joint venture tra Robert Mondavi della Napa Valley e il Barone Philippe de Rothschild di Château Mouton Rothschild a Bordeaux, l'Opus One Estate è oggi una delle cantine più importanti della California. Nel 1981 commercializzarono la prima annata (la 1979) al prezzo allora stupefacente di cinquanta dollari la bottiglia. L'assemblaggio di Cabernet fu inizialmente commercializzato con il nome Napamedoc, ma dal 1982 è etichettato come Opus One, accentuando il legame tra il vecchio e il nuovo mondo. Assemblaggio di tutte le cinque varietà bordolesi, questo vino iconico è composto da Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec e Petit Verdot. Insieme alla visione innovativa del duo, questo vino rappresentativo ha reso Opus One Estate la principale cantina di culto della Napa Valley.
