Born from the vision of winemaking legends—Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi—Opus One is Napa’s answer to old-world excellence. The newly released 2021 vintage reflects that legacy with a depth and richness honed by an uncommonly dry year, which intensified concentration and flavor.

This vintage opens with a dark bouquet of cassis, blackberry, and black cherry, punctuated by hints of violet, vanilla, and warming spices. Aged for 19 ½ months in French oak and crafted with 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine delivers intense, layered flavors that echo the aroma, enriched by an opulent mid-palate texture thanks to fine-grained tannins. Additional notes of black tea, licorice, and dark chocolate linger in a finish built to last. With its roots in the traditions of both Napa and Bordeaux, Opus One 2021 promises enjoyment now or decades down the line.
