Opus One, Napa Valley, 2005 75cl

- USA ~ California
The epitome of sophistication and elegance in a wine. This gorgeous red from the Napa Valley is bursting with floral notes of violet, lavender and rose yet is perfectly balanced by its fruity intensity. On the palette there are rich intense fruits such as blackberry, cherry and currants. Full bodied, wonderfully bright and textured, with a long fragrant finish to round off the experience.

Opus One was founded in 1979 when two of the world's most famous wine families began producing wine from their joint venture in Napa. Robert Mondavi and the Baron Philippe Rothschild of Mouton Rothschild became friends back in 1970. Less than a decade later, using parcels from Mondavi's To Kaylon vineyards they created a wine that became an instant hit with wine lovers in American and in Europe. The first parcels of land for Opus One came from 35 acres of vines already owned by Robert Mondavi, located in the famous Q block of the To Kaylon vineyards.
To produce the wine of Opus One, with 50 fermentation vats, the estate vinifies each parcel in its own tank, which allows for much more precision in their wines. The fermentation vats are elevated, allowing the juice to move by gravity. The wine of Opus One is then aged in new French oak barrels for close to 20 months. With close to 170 acres under vine, the average annual production is quite large at more than 25,000 cases per vintage. Opus One is one of the top selling, high end branded California Cabernet Sauvignon wines.
