The 2012 Opus One is a testament to the collaboration between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi. This vintage showcases dark fruit aromas with hints of forest-floor and graphite.

The wine is lively with acidity and has a sturdy structure, culminating in a long, lingering finish. Aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels, this wine is refined and age-worthy, perfect for enjoying now or cellaring for future enjoyment.
