What to Expect

The classic Bordeaux blends rely on either Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon for the bulk of the wine with additions of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec helping to add complexity, color, body and structure to the finished wine.

Winemakers Notes

Notes on the Opus One Napa Valley Red Wine 2004 : WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: 90 POINTS Bordeaux-like in its structure and balance, showing cedary oak, dusty berry, dried currant and mineral, with hints of herb and sage. The flavors firm up on the finish, and this is rich and intense without being heavy. Needs decanting. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Best from 2009 through 2015. 22,000 cases made. WS Online September 10, 2007 - JLNVWE NOTES: As one might expect from its opulent vintage, this is a richer Opus. It is aromatically impressive and offers lots of baking read more...

Rating: 91(+?)? - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 132, May/June 2007 ($179) Good full ruby. Roasted black raspberry, blackberry, spicecake, licorice, minerals and nutty oak on the nose. Denser than the 2004 and a step up in intensity but nicely light on its feet. There's lovely sweetness to the black fruit and licorice flavors. Finishes with big but sweet tannins and a lingering minerality. This makes the 2005 seem a bit dry by comparison. Bottled in July of 2006, for the first time without being fined. (I continue to find the '03 too herbal, lean and dry to recommend. The '02 in March was less herbal and minty than my sample two years ago but still high-toned, read more...

Having just read the biography of Robert Mondavi i was excited to try this. A softer attack than expected (sems to be the case with ultra high end CA wines). Intense deep fruits. Delicious, but OMG this is a powerful wine. Still young, hence the tight finish.
