The Opus One Blend 2012 (150cl) is a unique opportunity to experience a taste of Napa Valley history. This half-bottle (150cl) format offers a chance to explore a legendary blend crafted through a collaboration between Bordeaux royalty and Californian innovation. In 1978, Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Bordeaux and Robert Mondavi of Napa Valley joined forces to create Opus One. Their vision was to marry the classic Bordeaux style with the Californian climate and fruit-forward character.
On the nose, expect a captivating bouquet that showcases the best of both worlds. Look for dark fruit aromas like cassis, blackberry, and black cherry, reminiscent of a Left Bank Bordeaux. Hints of forest floor, graphite, and subtle toasty oak add complexity, reflecting the Californian influence. The palate is expected to be full-bodied and structured, with a core of fine-grained tannins that have softened over the past decade.
This versatile blend pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Enjoy it alongside grilled steaks, roasted lamb chops, or hearty stews. For a vegetarian option, consider portobello mushroom burgers or grilled vegetables with a robust sauce. Elevate your next backyard barbecue with this special bottle. The rich and bold flavors will stand up well to grilled meats and smoky sauces. Culminate your Napa Valley wine tour with a taste of history. This Opus One will be a fitting end to a day of exploring the region's renowned wineries.
