      Opus One is the iconic Napa Valley wine that brings together the intensity of California’s terroir with the elegance of Bordeaux. Born from the collaboration of two legendary figures in the wine world—Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Napa Valley’s Robert Mondavi—Opus One represents the embodiment of passion, craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality. Since its inception in 1979, this exceptional wine has become a symbol of luxury, craftsmanship, and the marriage of tradition and innovation.

      The 2021 vintage of Opus One stands as a testament to the precision and dedication of the team at the winery. The year experienced dry conditions with the second lowest rainfall in Opus One’s history, but the winery team’s expertise and careful vineyard management resulted in a vintage of exceptional concentration and flavor. The 2021 Opus One is a reflection of the balance between power and finesse, with the wine’s character defined by its unique terroir in Oakville, including the esteemed To Kalon Vineyard. As always, Opus One is a harmonious blend of nature and human artistry, designed to be savoured today and for generations to come.

      Ready to enjoy now or cellar for 20+ years.
      Perfect with grilled steak, lamb, roasted vegetables, or a charcuterie board with aged cheeses.

      Opus One 2021

      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.

      The 2021 Opus One is brilliant and I think one of the finest wines made from this estate. Deep ruby/purple-hued, with a gorgeous perfume of cassis, darker raspberries, spicy oak, and obvious minerality, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, lots of ripe tannins, and a great finish. It shines on all accounts and is complex, nuanced, textured, and beautifully balanced. It will have 30 years of prime drinking. Drink 2023-2053.

      — - Jeb Dunnuck, 97 points

      The 2021 Opus One is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, and half a percent each of Malbec and Merlot. It was aged up to 19 months in 100% new French oak. It's a seamless wine with balletic elegance and grace. From a deep ruby-crimson colour comes heady red and violet floral notes, sandalwood, and rich brown spices nuanced by graphite and dried sagebrush. Medium to full-bodied with ultrafine-grained tannins, almost powdery, with gorgeous cranberry and raspberry fruits and a kind of juicy, woody, crushed pomegranate seed character. You really can't believe how light and ephemeral this wine is. Drink 2024 - 2050.

      Opus One

      Opus One is the realised dream of two visionaries: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. Together, they set out to create a single wine dedicated to the pursuit of uncompromising quality. This mission, started nearly four decades ago, continues today with a refined focus on subtle complexity, traditional methods, and constant innovation.

      The Opus One estate vineyards are composed of four parcels located in the western portion of the famed Oakville AVA. Two of these parcels, totalling 40 hectares, are situated within the renowned To Kalon Vineyard, while the remaining 28 hectares from the Ballestra and River parcels surround the winery. The team takes a traditional approach to hand-harvesting, combined with modern techniques that benefit winegrowing through careful research and integration.

      Sustainability is at the heart of Opus One's practices, benefiting both the winery and its community. Certified as a green winery through the Napa Valley Vintners' Napa Green Initiative, Opus One implements over 100 environmentally friendly procedures. Their efforts in energy conservation, water management, waste reduction, and more reflect their commitment to sustainability for generations to come.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Seductive & Dark Fruit

      Seductive aromas of crushed cassis, blackberry, and black cherry, intertwined with subtle floral hints of violet, vanilla, and delicate baking spices. These aromatic layers create a wine of depth and intrigue.

      PALATE
      Concentrated & Plush

      Concentrated flavours of dark fruit mirror the nose, combined with a plush, creamy texture that comes from the fine-grained tannins. The wine is opulent, balanced, and beautifully integrated, with layers of black tea, liquorice, and dark chocolate.

      FINISH
      Lingering & Elegant

      Long and lingering, with a persistent hint of dark fruit, spice, and minerality that showcases the wine’s complexity. It is a perfect example of Opus One’s trademark balance of power and finesse, leaving an impression that lasts.
