Opus One

Opus One was the creation of Napa wine pioneer Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild, who came together to create a single Bordeaux style blend, based upon Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon. With its first vintage in 1979, Opus One is without doubt, one of California's most high profile wines, as well as being one of its best.

“Time is expressed in Opus One by the character of the vintage: sometimes with a personality that is highly defined and sometimes with a shade of difference quite subtle from other vintages. Terroir is best expressed in the mouthfeel of Opus One; it is the balance of power and finesse, structure and texture. Complementing both time and place is the essential human element: the attitude, will and soulful attention embrace the vision of our founding partners.” – Opus One Winery
