Picked before, during and after the year's early September heat, the 2022 Opus One—a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 6.5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot and 0.5% Malbec—admirably reflects the vintage, boasting a ripe, extroverted personality but also a slightly open-knit, coarser mouthfeel than either the 2021 or 2023. Rosemary and sandalwood notes accent cherries on the nose, while the medium- to full-bodied palate is expansive and plush, finishing with ample length and soft tannins.
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.
