"This wine was too much—too much like a caricature for me," winemaker Michael Silacci confessed to me while tasting the 2015 Opus One together again recently. "So, when we took it out of barrel to prepare for bottling we added a few more components." Medium to deep garnet-purple color, it bursts from the glass with beautiful violets, lavender, rose hip tea and chocolate-covered cherries scents over a core of crushed blackberries, black cherries, cassis and iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is wonderfully bright and crunchy, with bags of fresh black and red berries and a wonderfully plush, finely grained texture, finishing long and fragrant.
About this wine
Opus One
We are pleased to offer a string of vintages from the legendary Napa Valley producer Opus One, specifically the vintages from 2013 to 2019. As you know, Opus One is located in the Californian town of Oakville in Napa Valley and is the result of the successful collaboration between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, probably the most famous winemaker ever from Napa Valley.
Napa Valley
The Napa Valley wine region in California, USA, has been known since the 1960s for producing exceptional wine due to the area's Mediterranean climate. The area is especially known for wines with Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes, which are rich in body and elegance. The terroir, including especially the climate and soil types, are ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon of the highest quality.
