Opus One is the legendary partnership of Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild, founded in 1979. It remains Napa Valley’s most iconic Bordeaux-style blend, grown on prime estate vineyards in Oakville. In 2023 a long, cool season with a mid-October finish to harvest brought classic elegance. It was also the first vintage from vines farmed regeneratively. The wine was fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, a portion was aged in amphora, and it then spent 19 months in mostly new French oak. Critics are calling it one of the most complete Opus Ones in years. It shows cassis, blackberry and black raspberry, cool blue fruit, cocoa, cedar and graphite, with brisk acidity, ultra-fine tannins and a long, mineral finish. Decant it alongside prime rib, rack of lamb or dry-aged steak, or cellar it for 30 to 40 years.

98 Points
"The 2023 Opus One is a super classic wine. Brisk acids, fine tannins
and lifted aromatics signal an Opus One of exquisite finesse and class.
Red/purplish fruit, mint, orange peel and chalk are all woven together
in a fabric of nearly indescribable class. The 2023 floats on the palate
with understated finesse and lightness, but it's not light in any way.
This is class personified.
