The 2017 Opus One is a highly acclaimed, sophisticated Napa Valley red blend (81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4.5% Merlot, 1% Malbec) characterized by its red-toned fruit profile, silky tannins, and surprising liveliness. With aromas of black cherry and violet, it offers a plush, refined palate with a long finish. Drinking well from 2022 to 2036, it is highly age-worthy.
The winter of 2017 ended a five-year drought with January recording the most rainfall in over
20 years. The abundant rainfall continued into March, causing a modest delay in budbreak, and pushing bloom back by two weeks. Increased soil moisture allowed for healthy vine growth and development. The summer, in turn, was warm and punctuated by occasional heat waves. Despite Mother Nature’s variability, favourable weather in August provided optimal conditions for fruit development and maturation. Superb flavours and excellent ripening led to an earlier than expected harvest, which commenced on the 5th of September.
Opus One was founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, legendary proprietor of Château
Mouton Rothschild, and renowned Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. By combining the
great winemaking traditions and innovations of both families, the founders’ singular goal was
to create an exceptional wine in the heart of Napa Valley. Opus One, like any great work, arose out of passion. Dedicated to uncompromised quality, Opus One’s sole purpose is to express this vision and passionate spirit for generations to come.
