Red dry
„Opus One 2019“ didžiuojasi gausiais gervuogių, juodųjų serbentų ir juodųjų vyšnių, slyvų aromatais. Toliau seka elegantiškos žibuoklių, juodųjų pipirų ir rožių žiedlapių natos, kurios kartu sukuria labai viliojančią puokštę. Sklandžiai sluoksniuoti skoniai sukuria šviežių ir sultingų juodųjų vaisių paletę, paryškintą apelsinų žievelės, saldymedžio ir tamsaus šokolado užuominomis. Gražiai subalansuoti, glotnūs, apvalūs taninai ir gaivus rūgštingumas kartu sukuria švelnų, kreminį pojūtį burnoje ir išplečia skonius iki ilgai išliekančio poskonio.
Vynuogių sulčių fermentacijos metu, maceracija buvo vykdoma 22 dienų. Vėliau vynas brandintas 18 mėn., naujose prancūziško ąžuolo statinėse.
Patiekti 16 - 18 °C prie ėrienos šlaunelių su mėtų pesto, wagyu jautienos filė mignon arba Stilton Gold sūrio.
Winemaker Michael Silacci commented that usually the blends are finished in January or February after the vintage. This year, with the 2019s, he was still tweaking the blend, but he did mention that this is "pretty close to the final blend." Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Opus One leaps from the glass with notes of Black Forest cake, Morello cherries, mulberries and fresh blackcurrants plus hints of licorice, wilted roses, Sichuan pepper and iron ore. Full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with juicy black, blue and red fruits, framed by velvety tannins and background freshness, finishing on a compelling earthy/mineral note. Tasted as a barrel sample, this is a truly magnificent Opus One in the making!
Opus One Winery – a legendary Napa Valley wine icon
Opus One Winery is one of the most famous and prestigious wineries in California, located in the Oakville AVA, Napa Valley. Founded in 1978 as a partnership between two wine legends – Robert Mondavi (USA) and Baron Philippe de Rothschild (Château Mouton Rothschild, France), Opus One has pursued one goal from the beginning: to create world-class premium Bordeaux-style red wine.
The Oakville AVA is famous for its ideal climate for growing Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The winery manages about 55 hectares of vineyards, carefully maintained according to the principles of sustainable farming.
Grapes and winemaking
Opus One creates one main wine – Opus One Red Wine – and a secondary wine Overture. Both wines are made using five grape varieties from the classic Bordeaux blend:
• Cabernet Sauvignon
• Cabernet Franc
• Merlot
• Petit Verdot
• Malbec
Production process:
• Manual harvesting and optical sorting of grapes
• Fermentation with gravity systems (no pumps)
• Aging in 100% new French oak barrels for ~19–20 months
• Long bottle aging before release
This meticulous process allows the wine to stand out for its depth, structure, longevity and elegance.
Architecture and wine experience
The Opus One building is an architectural masterpiece that combines modernism and classicism, designed to allow winemaking to proceed naturally from the top to the cellar by gravity.
Opus One is a Napa Green certified winery.
