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, the founders of Opus One 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.

Nose: The 2011 Opus One expresses fresh aromas of red fruit, Provençal herbs, bay leaf and blackcurrant, giving way to more subtle notes of black tea and white pepper.

Palate: The wine's round tannins and creamy texture envelop the familiar aromas of fresh cherry, cranberry and boysenberry with a touch of dark chocolate. This refined wine for laying down offers a silky finish with a slight tannic persistence.
