| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nThe Opus One 2017 offers a harmonious aromatic balance of rich dark fruit, stems of roses, and earthy forest floor. The juicy entry offers a round, silky mouthfeel with just enough acidity to complement the satin texture. This seductive wine shows flavors of black cassis, black cherry and a hint of cocoa powder. The fine-grained, plush tannins evolve into a long, supple finish.\u00a0 A supremely age-worthy wine, it will delight now and for many years to come.\r\nVINTAGE 2017\r\nThe winter of 2017 ended a five-year drought with January recording the most rainfall in over\r\n20 years. The abundant rainfall continued into March, causing a modest delay in budbreak, and\r\npushing bloom back by two weeks. Increased soil moisture allowed for healthy vine growth and\r\ndevelopment. The summer, in turn, was warm and punctuated by occasional heat waves. Despite\r\nMother Nature\u2019s variability, favorable weather in August provided optimal conditions for fruit\r\ndevelopment and maturation. Superb flavors and excellent ripening led to an earlier than\r\nexpected harvest, which commenced on the 5th of September.\r\nBlend - Cabernet Sauvignon 80%, Petit Verdot 9%, Cabernet Franc 5%, Merlot 5% and Malbec 1%\u00a0 \r\nJames Suckling 95 Points \r\nRobert Parker 95 Points\r\nAbout Opus One Winery\r\nGreat winemaking begins in the vineyard. When our founders created Opus One, they dreamed of a great wine that would transcend generations. Nearly four decades later, we continue to refine the complex subtleties of Opus One by honoring traditional methods and the continual pursuit of innovation and improvement.\r\nOpus One is the realized dream of two men: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. Together, our founders set out to create a single wine dedicated to the pursuit of uncompromising quality. This singular mission shapes every vintage, today and for generations to come. |
