“As farmers and artisans, deeply concerned with our collective future, Opus One recognizes that sustainability practices benefit the winery, our neighbors and our customers. Place, often defined as terroir, represents the geography, the climate and the essential human element which is captured in the wine’s balance between power and finesse, structure and texture.” “The essence of time is expressed in Opus One by the character of each vintage. Beautifully balanced, the smooth round tannins and fresh acidity combine to create a soft, creamy mouthfeel and extend the flavors into a long persistent finish.' The seamlessly layered flavors build to a crescendo of fresh and juicy black-fruit, accented with hints of orange zest, licorice and dark chocolate. Elegant notes of violets, white pepper and rose petals follow and together they deliver a very seductive bouquet. Winery Notes: ' The Opus One 2018 offers profuse aromas of blackberry, cassis and black cherry. In the words of co-founder Baron Philippe De Rothschild, “Wine is born, then it lives. The quality of tannin is exquisite with wonderful polish and refinement.

Fresh herbs, such as bay leaf and lemon grass highlight the dark fruit. It’s full-bodied, yet ever so balanced and refined, with super fine tannins that last for minutes. James Suckling: 99 Points “Extremely perfumed and floral with lavender, lilacs and violets to the sweet, ripe berries, such as blackberries and blackcurrants.
