					<description><![CDATA[Opus One is the realized dream of two men: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. Together, our founders set out to create a single wine dedicated to the pursuit of uncompromising quality. This singular mission shapes every vintage, today and for generations to come.

The "Opus One" is the result of a careful selection of the best Cabernet Sauvignon bunches, which are combined with small percentages of other varieties of Bordeaux origin. It matures in new oak barrels for about 17 months. The result is a red wine of incredible depth and elegance. Long and enveloping, it probably represents the best that California wine has been able to express for decades.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 14%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Dark ruby red.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
The Opus One 2021 effuses seductive, dark fruit aromas of crushed cassis, blackberry, and black cherry with subtle hints of violet, vanilla, and baking spices.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
Bright and fresh on the attack, concentrated flavors mirror the aromas and are coupled with an exceptionally plush, creamy texture in the mid-palate from the fine-grained tannins. Poignant notes of black tea, licorice, and chocolate lead to a long lingering finish.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
This bold wine makes a great pairing for steaks, barbeque and full-flavoured cheeses.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
In new oak barrels for about 17 months.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Throughout the meal, Opus One is a wine that goes well with large meat dishes, perhaps enhanced with a sprinkling of fine black truffle.</p>
