Opus One
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
One of most sensational Opus Ones I’ve ever had. Drink now or age for decades.

Herbaceous and extremely savory nose. Oregano , thyme, charcuterie. Doesn’t overwhelm the fruit. Medium minus on the acid front. Not screaming by any stretch. The Napa heat keeps the finish lingering and savory finish stays long. 14.5%

Had the 2016 and 2018 at the tasting as well. Beautiful day! 2016 - a drought year but opus got a lot of rain. 2018- idéal year apparently. 2016 had red and black fruit, coffee, chocolate, olive, oak, baking spice

What is all the hype about? I’ve had better wines for $10. At $350 this should have just wowed, but it did not. Maybe my palate is not sophisticated enough. Perhaps I’m a Philistine that should only drink box wines and wine coolers. Either that or this is the most overhyped plonk I have ever purchased. For those of you that are thinking of trying this for the first time... skip it. This is the wine equivalent of booking a Disney Resort hotel thinking you’ll get a 5 star experience and then realizing you got a Motel 6 with a mouse painted on it.
