Opus One is a collaboration between two legendary wine families. the Mondavis from Napa Valley and the Rothschilds from Bordeaux. The winery was established in 1979 with a goal to create a singular wine that combines the best of both Californian and French winemaking traditions. The 2006 vintage exhibits a deep, intense colour and a complex bouquet of black and red fruits like blackcurrants, cherries, and blackberries, along with notes of spices, herbs, and earthy tones. The aging process in French oak added layers of vanilla, toast and cedar. The tannins are now well-integrated, providing structure and balance. The wine is available here in a rare magnum bottle.
