					<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.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 14.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Dark ruby red.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
The 2012 Opus One effuses fresh dark fruit aromas accentuated by subtler notes of forest-floor and graphite.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
The wine’s round mouthfeel and satiny tannins wrap around classic flavors of cassis, blackberry and black cherry. This refined and age-worthy wine simultaneously offers a long lingering finish, with lively acidity and a sturdy structure at the close.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
In new oak barrels for 17,5 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>
