Opus One 2013 — the celebrated Napa Valley Bordeaux blend from Mondavi and Rothschild.
Opus One is the joint venture of Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild, marrying Old World tradition with New World precision. The 2013 is a Bordeaux-style blend aged 18 months in French oak, with the depth to evolve gracefully over two decades.
Full-bodied and silky, with refined tannins and well-integrated fruit. Opulent black cherry, cassis and dark chocolate meet tobacco and cedar, closing long and harmonious.
