Napa Valley Bordeaux-Style Red Blend Overview Opus One 2019 is a benchmark Napa Valley release that exemplifies balance, precision and restrained power. Born from the legendary partnership between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, Opus One remains one of the worlds most iconic New World fine wines.
The 2019 vintage is defined by near-ideal growing conditions, resulting in a wine of remarkable harmony combining Napa Valley ripeness with classical Bordeaux structure. Elegant, layered and age-worthy, this is Opus One in a confident, refined expression that will reward both early enjoyment and long-term cellaring.
Tasting Notes Colour: Deep garnet with a dark, luminous core and subtle purple highlights. Nose: Highly expressive and refined. Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and ripe plum are layered with graphite, violet, cedarwood and sweet tobacco. Nuances of cocoa powder, vanilla pod and baking spice emerge with aeration.
Palate: Full-bodied yet impeccably balanced. Concentrated black fruit flows across the palate cassis, black cherry and mulberry supported by fine-grained, polished tannins. The oak is seamlessly integrated, adding depth through notes of dark chocolate, espresso and gentle spice without overpowering the fruit.
Finish: Long, elegant and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, savoury complexity and refined tannic structure that signals excellent ageing potential.
