					<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.

For more info, visit <strong>Opus One</strong> <a href="http://www.en.opusonewinery.com/">website</a>.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Cab. Franc, 2% Malbec

										<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>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 15%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Elegant and classy deep ruby.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
This wine displays depth and complexity. Pure, intense aromas of blackberry, cassis, perfumed violets, graphite and macerated berry skins leap from the glass, followed by layers of anise, vanilla, clove and chocolate.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
The luxurious dark berry and spice notes continue on the palate, where polished, mouth-filling tannins in combination with a powerful structure add depth to the deep, rich flavors, carrying the wine to a very resonating dark berry and mocha finish.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Best served with all types of classic meat dishes, game, burgers, barbecue, grilled dishes and stews.</p>
<p><strong>READINESS FOR DRINKING</strong><br />
Aged for 22 months in new French oak.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 15%</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Chappellet is recognized as one of the great Napa Valley wineries, and one of the few which remains family owned. Today, the second generation is committed to continuing the vision of their parents, Donn and Molly Chappellet. Together, the siblings are dedicated to maintaining sustainable farming techniques, a relentless focus on wine quality, respect for Pritchard Hill’s natural beauty and the preservation of family ownership for generations to come.

The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon has been a foundational wine in Chappellet Winery portfolio for more than five decades. It is a benchmark for the long-lived hillside wines of the Napa Valley; full of structure and aging potential, yet seductively forward in its concentrated varietal character. The dry, rocky soils of Pritchard Hill produce small, intensely flavorful grapes. Crop thinning allows for full, even ripening and elevates flavor complexity.

For more info, visit <strong>Chappellet Winery</strong> <a href="http://www.chappellet.com">website</a>.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 8% Malbec, 3% Merlot

<strong>VINTAGE</strong>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 15%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Luxuriously dark and concentrated.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
It displays alluring aromas of cassis, dark cherry, plum, chocolate, and sweet baking spices, with hints of toasted oak, cardamom, clove and vanilla from French oak aging.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
On the palate, this wine is voluptuously full bodied, with a lavish structure and supple tannins framing the ripe dark berry and black currant flavors. As it glides to a long resonant finish, sophisticated hints of cedar, espresso, cigar box, anise and fresh herbs emerge, adding nuance and depth.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
This bold wine makes a great pairing for steaks, barbeque and full-flavoured cheeses.</p>
<p><strong>READINESS FOR DRINKING</strong><br />
So good now to drink, it will age beautifully.</p>
