Product details
Opus One Red Blend Napa Valley 2023 is the latest vintage from Opus One, the Napa Valley estate founded through the shared vision of Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Located in Oakville at the foot of the Mayacamas Mountains, the estate focuses on expressing the character of its vineyards through meticulous vineyard management and careful attention to each vintage. The 2023 release reflects Opus One’s signature emphasis on harmony, structure, and elegance, offering a refined Napa Valley expression with a balance between depth and youthful energy.
The 2023 vintage opens with layered aromas of red fruit, cherry blossom, dried violet, and vanilla, followed by graphite and forest-floor nuances that add structural complexity. On the palate, silky tannins frame flavors of elderberry and cassis, accented by black pepper and chocolate-covered orange peel. The finish unfolds with red plum and sweet oak, bringing together the vintage’s structural depth and vibrant character in a harmonious, lingering close.
