The first sip of Opus One 750ml envelops your senses in a tapestry of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and subtle graphite, unfolding with layers of dark chocolate and a whisper of cedar. Crafted in the United States with an alcohol by volume of 14.00%, this iconic Bordeaux-style blend harmonizes Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure with Merlot’s plushness, accented by hints of Petit Verdot and Malbec for depth and finesse. Its velvety tannins and vibrant acidity make it a sublime companion to lamb or beef, elevating each bite with its lingering finish and elegant complexity.
Producer Information: Opus One Winery
Opus One Winery, located in the heart of Napa Valley’s Oakville AVA, was established in 1978 as a groundbreaking collaboration between Robert Mondavi, a pioneer of California winemaking, and Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux. Their vision was to unite Old World French tradition with New World innovation, crafting a single Bordeaux-style blend that would express the unique terroir of Napa Valley. The winery’s meticulous approach centers on sustainable vineyard practices and precision winemaking techniques that highlight the character of their estate vineyards. While Opus One is singularly focused on its flagship wine—a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend—its influence has elevated Oakville’s status within the global fine wine category. The estate does not produce other wines or spirits under its own label, instead dedicating all resources to perfecting this singular expression of place and partnership.

Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
