Opus One 2021

Opus One 2021

The 2021 Opus One is a distinguished Bordeaux-style blend from Napa Valley, showcasing the winery’s dedication to crafting exceptional wines. Seductive dark-fruit aromas of crushed cassis, blackberry, and black cherry, with subtle hints of violet, vanilla, and baking spices. Bright and fresh on the attack, with concentrated flavors mirroring the aromas, coupled with an exceptionally plush, creamy texture in the mid-palate from the fine-grained tannins. Poignant notes of black tea, licorice, and dark chocolate lead to a long lingering finish.

Critical Acclaim

99 James Suckling

An enticing aroma of violets, cherry blossoms, fresh blue and black fruit and great structure define this beautiful, age-worthy wine. Subtle layering of fruit and oak spices between firm, fine-grained and supportive tannins gives it a calm intensity. So elegant and polished. Hints of cinnamon and graphite accent blackcurrant and blueberry flavors that linger and grow in a long finish. Already attractive to drink, but best after 2029.
