Opus One 2007 is a Napa Bordeaux-style blend and a stand-out vintage from this esteemed producer. The nose reveals an intricate bouquet featuring notes of violets, clove and leather, underscored by aromas of cassis and dark cherries. On the palate, the wine exhibits a full-bodied structure with layers of black fruit, complemented by firm yet refined tannins and a precise acidity. This vintage marked the first year that all Petit Verdot was co-fermented with the Cabernet Sauvignon. Opus One is a noteworthy collaboration between Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild, blending meticulous Californian craftsmanship with Bordeaux tradition.
