OPUS ONE Proprietary Red, Napa Valley 2010


2013 Top 100 - Rank #30

The 2010 Opus One is an absolutely sensational wine. It brings intoxicating aromas of ripe blackberries and dark currant fruit followed by Asian spices, herbs and graphite which weave their way through the wine. It has a wonderful silky texture that is well structured, demonstrating remarkable depth and balance. Everything is wrapped up with a long lingering finish that leaves behind flavors of graphite and dark fruits. It is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon 84%, Cabernet Franc 5.5%, Merlot 5.5%, Petit Verdot 4% and Malbec 1%. Winemaker Michael Silacci did a phenomenal job with this 2010, this is the best Opus in the last decade and is a clear demonstration of what Opus One is all about, the vision of Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild to bring together the styles of Bordeaux and California.
