Opus One 2018

DESCRIPTION:

Opus One 2018 is an exceptional Napa Valley red wine, combining the elegance of classic Bordeaux winemaking with the richness and character of California. A beautifully refined and complex vintage, it offers layers of dark fruit, floral notes, spice, and dark chocolate, supported by smooth tannins and vibrant acidity.

The nose is expressive and seductive, showing generous aromas of blackberry, cassis, and black cherry, followed by elegant notes of violets, white pepper, and rose petals. The palate is beautifully layered, with fresh and juicy black fruit complemented by hints of orange zest, liquorice, and dark chocolate. Smooth, rounded tannins and fresh acidity create a soft, creamy texture, leading to a long and persistent finish.

A sophisticated and age-worthy red wine, ideal for special occasions and beautifully suited to premium dishes such as grilled or roasted beef, lamb, venison, slow-cooked meats, truffle dishes, and mature cheeses.
