Opus One
Opus One was founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild legendary proprietor of Château Mouton Rothschild and renowned Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. By combining the great winemaking traditions and innovations of both families the founders’ singular goal was to create an exceptional wine in the heart of Napa Valley. Opus One like any great work arose out of passion. Dedicated to uncompromised quality Opus One’s sole purpose is to express this vision and passionate spirit for generations to come.
Description
Reminiscent of the generous 2001 vintage in style and structure, the 2007 shows very high color intensity with aromas of cassis, nutmeg, raspberries, cola, fresh oats, dark chocolate and forest floor. Polished, supple and harmoniously precise, the 2007 fuses a seamless mid-palate with soft yet sinewy tannins. The wine will age effortlessly for decades.
Food Pairing
Horseradish and pepper crusted tenderloin with port reduction. Braised shortribs.
