Red dry
Opus One Napa Valley 2022 is one of the most iconic wines of Napa Valley, born from the shared vision of Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild to create a single, top-level wine. The 2022 vintage is dominated by ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ (80%), complemented by ‘Petit Verdot’, ‘Cabernet Franc’, ‘Merlot’ and a small part of ‘Malbec’, so the wine maintains the classic logic of Bordeaux structure, but at the same time speaks the language of Napa Valley very clearly.
The aroma reveals notes of blueberries, black currants and dried rose petals, complemented by nuances of olives, cigar boxes and graphite. It is not heavy or overripe, but very precise, multi-layered aroma, which combines maturity and restrained, classic spice depth.
The wine is harmonious, concentrated and elegant. The red fruit direction is accompanied by cocoa, orange peel, wet stone, vanilla and a light coffee tone, fine tannins. This is a wine in which the strength is not demonstrative - it is more controlled, integrated and oriented towards longer maturity.
The 2022 season was shaped by abundant early winter precipitation, followed by a dry late winter period, and the heat prevailing during the harvest required extremely precise decision-making in the vineyard. Nevertheless, the farm emphasizes that the harvest stood out for both flavor maturity and freshness; the harvest took place from August 24 to September 26.
Fermentation and maceration lasted 20, then the wine was aged for 18 months in new French oak barrel
Serve at a temperature of 16-18 °C with beef steaks/stews with forest mushrooms, mildly smoked beef sausage stew with red beans, game stews with vegetables.
