"Ranked among the best wines in the world, discover all the excellence of Napa Valley in your glass!"
"A classic vintage that perfectly matches the Opus style. Magnificent bright plum color, sculpted, balanced, with great depth, waves of rose petals, iris and peony, sweet toasted cumin, sage and white pepper. I love the hidden power of this wine and its supple, slightly chalky tannins, structured with precision and finesse. Precise, complex, and long on the palate, this is a brilliant Opus, concentrated yet delicate. It seems more restrained and captures the spirit of the early Opus wines, which advanced the debate about what Napa could be. Michael Silacci, director, 100% new oak for extremely well-integrated aging, even today.

About wine:
Opus One 2021 is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, and 0.5% Malbec and Merlot. It was aged for up to 19 months in 100% new French oak barrels. It is a harmonious wine, with an elegance and grace worthy of a ballet. Its deep ruby-crimson color reveals intoxicating floral notes of red and purple, sandalwood, and rich brown spices, nuanced with hints of graphite and dried sagebrush. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, with ultra-fine, almost powdery tannins, it offers magnificent aromas of cranberry and raspberry, as well as a juicy, woody character reminiscent of crushed pomegranate seeds. You won't believe your eyes when you taste how light and fleeting this wine is. 2024-2050

About wine:
A seductive aroma of violet, cherry blossom, fresh blue and black fruits and a beautiful structure characterize this magnificent wine, suitable for aging. A subtle layering of fruit and woody spices between firm, fine and sustained tannins gives it a serene intensity. So elegant and refined. Notes of cinnamon and graphite accentuate the flavors of blackcurrant and blueberry, which linger and intensify in a long finish. Already enjoyable to drink, but best enjoyed after 2029.
