"Ranked among the world's finest wines—experience all the excellence of Napa Valley in your glass!"

“A classic vintage that perfectly embodies the Opus style. A magnificent, vivid plum color; sculpted, balanced, and full of depth, with waves of rose petals, iris, and peony, along with sweet toasted cumin, sage, and white pepper. I love this wine’s hidden power 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 understated and captures the spirit of the early Opus wines, which pushed the boundaries of what Napa could be. Michael Silacci, winemaker; 100% new oak for an extremely well-integrated aging profile, even today. ” (Jane Anson 2024) - Delivery in a wooden crate is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and selected shipping method)

About the wine:

The 2021 Opus One 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 violet, sandalwood, and rich brown spices, nuanced by hints of graphite and dried mugwort. 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—this wine is so light and ephemeral. 2024–2050

About the wine:

An alluring aroma of violet, cherry blossom, and fresh blue and black fruits, along with a beautiful structure, characterize this magnificent, age-worthy wine. A subtle interplay of fruit and woody spices, framed by firm, refined, and sustained tannins, lends 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 savored after 2029.
