Tasting notes
The 2013 Opus One boasts a deep, almost opaque red color. On the nose, aromas of ripe black fruit, blackcurrant, and cherry mingle with subtle notes of cedar and spice. On the palate, this wine reveals a silky texture, with elegant tannins and a lovely acidity that lend it freshness and length. The finish is persistent, leaving a trace of dark chocolate and licorice, promising excellent aging potential.

The Opus One vineyard spans 113 hectares, planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, with complementary grape varieties that enrich its complexity. The varied soil, composed of gravel, sand, and clay, offers excellent drainage and promotes deep root development. The Napa Valley climate, with its warm days and cool nights, allows for optimal grape ripening, resulting in exceptional aromatic concentration. Each plot is carefully cultivated to respect biodiversity and the natural balance, reflecting the estate's sustainable philosophy.
