The estate and the wine An iconic cuvée, propelled by two major figures in global viticulture—Philippe de Rothschild of Bordeaux's Château Mouton-Rothschild and Californian Robert Mondavi—Opus One captivates the world. Created in the late 70s, this cuvée aimed to revolutionize the global hierarchy of fine wines by incorporating this Californian terroir, and it has certainly succeeded. Following in the footsteps of its counterpart, Château Mouton-Rothschild, Opus One ignites passions and exerts a similar allure. On this Californian soil, cabernet sauvignon finds its most refined expression, and the Bordeaux expertise from the Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac elevates it to new heights. Opus One defies classification and comparison: its unparalleled style and aura set it apart as a unique wine. Monumental in every sense, the 2010 Opus One Napa Valley Red delivers a stunningly rich and complex bouquet of ripe wild berries, truffle, and exotic spices. With 90% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, the wine offers extraordinary depth and intensity. The broad, powerful structure is equally impressive, combining controlled strength with silky tannins and exceptional length on the finish. A truly magnificent wine, it can be enjoyed now with decanting or cellared for another 20 years with ease. Presented in magnum, it promises an unforgettable experience. Rated 96/100 by Parker.
