Description
Composed of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot and 2% Malbec, Opus One's 2015 Proprietary Red Wine is truly an iron fist in a velvet glove, delivering a powerhouse of flavors and structure with a seductively plush texture. It opens with a deep garnet-purple color and wonderfully spicy notes of cinnamon stick, cloves and fenugreek with a core of cherry preserves, redcurrant jelly, blackberry pie and warm plums plus hints of camphor, lavender and cigar box. Full-bodied, rich and bold in the mouth, it fills the palate with exotic spice-laced black and red fruits, framed by firm, beautifully ripe, grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing with epic persistence.

The 2017 Opus One is a testament to the art of winemaking, a blend that captures the essence of Napa Valley's terroir. With an elegant and aromatic nose, it offers a tapestry of deep, complex scents including pulpy Boysenberry, fresh violet plum, and a medley of juicy berries, all underpinned by a refreshing minerality. The palate is a harmonious fusion of fruitiness and freshness, with a well-balanced, delicate structure that delivers a beautiful definition and a subtle, unctuous texture. Flavors of black cassis, black cherry, and a whisper of cocoa powder are wrapped in fine-grained tannins, leading to a long, supple finish. This wine is a celebration of finesse and power, a luxurious experience that will continue to evolve and delight for years to come.
