Opus One 2015 750ml is an iconic Napa Valley red wine produced by Opus One Winery in the prestigious Oakville AVA. Founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, Opus One brings together the winemaking traditions of Bordeaux with the distinctive terroir of Napa Valley.
The 2015 vintage experienced an exceptionally warm growing season, with an early flowering and advanced veraison. Despite persistent drought conditions, the warm summer was followed by favourable ripening conditions that allowed the grapes to reach ideal maturity. Harvest began on 1 September and was completed on 8 October.
The wine is composed of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec. It underwent 21 days of skin contact and was aged for 18 months in new French oak, contributing structure, texture and integrated spice.
Opus One 2015 opens with expressive aromas of dark fruit, spice and baking notes, intertwined with violet, black tea and sage. The palate delivers ripe plum, blackberry and blueberry, followed by subtle vanilla and cocoa. Silky, fine-grained tannins create a creamy texture, while fresh acidity carries the wine through to a rich, lingering finish.
