Item Description

Opus One is one of the world's most famous wines and is a partnership of two of the most respected figures from Bordeaux and Napa Valley, Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi. It was the first premium California wine sold in Europe and is one of the original "Cult Cabernets." It continues to be one of the most expensive Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine produced in Napa Valley. Opus One is a single wine, a Bordeaux Blend sourced from the estate vineyards in Oakville. The grapes are hand-harvested, and gravity flow is used to get the fruit from the destemmer into stainless steel tank for fermentation. The wine is then aged in new French oak for a year and a half, during which time blending takes place. Although it is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Opus One makes use of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec in smaller percentages. Robert Parker - 97 points
