Opus One was founded in 1978 as a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi to create a Bordeaux-style red based on Napa Valley Cabernet. Following Constellation Brands’ 2004 takeover of Mondavi, the estate of Baron Rothschild negotiated with Constellation for control of marketing, vineyard management, and administration of the winery. Michael Silacci has been winemaker/director here since 2001. This 2021 contains all five Bordeaux varieties and is dominated by 93% Cabernet Sauvignon. Matured in 100% new oak for 19 months, it is elegant and polished, with hints of cinnamon and graphite accenting black currant and blueberry flavors that linger and grow into a long finish.
