Napa Valley's most famous partnership between Bordeaux and California, in a vintage described by The Wine Advocate as 'truly magnificent'.

78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec. Silky tannins and bright, floral aromatics: crushed flowers, red fruit, mint, lavender and rose petal, all beautifully delineated.

Drink it with: Prime rib, lamb rack or aged hard cheeses.

When to drink: Approachable now but will develop for many years. It can benefit from time in a decanter.

The producer: Opus One was founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Napa vintner Robert Mondavi, combining the traditions of both families.

"Winemaker Michael Silacci commented that usually the blends are finished in January or February after the vintage. This year, with the 2019s, he was still tweaking the blend, but he did mention that this is "pretty close to the final blend."
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Opus One leaps from the glass with notes of Black Forest cake, Morello cherries, mulberries and fresh blackcurrants plus hints of licorice, wilted roses, Sichuan pepper and iron ore. Full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with juicy black, blue and red fruits, framed by velvety tannins and background freshness, finishing on a compelling earthy/mineral note. Tasted as a barrel sample, this is a truly magnificent Opus One in the making!"
