Opus One 2012 750ml is an iconic Napa Valley red wine created through the collaboration of Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild, bringing together the winemaking traditions of California and Bordeaux.
Produced from vineyards in the prestigious Oakville AVA of Napa Valley, the 2012 vintage showcases the estate's signature Bordeaux-inspired style, combining concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon with complementary Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.
The 2012 vintage is characterised by a warm, balanced growing season that produced ripe, concentrated fruit with excellent structure. The wine opens with expressive aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry and dark cherry, followed by floral notes, cedar, graphite, cocoa and subtle spice.
On the palate, Opus One 2012 is rich and refined, with concentrated dark fruit supported by polished tannins, balanced acidity and integrated oak. Its combination of power, elegance and length makes it one of Napa Valley's most sought-after collectible wines.
