Opus One 2001 Vintage Overview

2001 OVERVIEW

Open the 2001 Opus One and you’re greeted by layered blackcurrant and plum, wrapped in sweet wood spice, gentle smoke, and a whisper of leather, all gliding across a silky, medium‑plus palate. The fruit still feels vibrant rather than heavy, the tannins are polished and resolved, and the finish trails off with warm peppery spice and a touch of savory complexity that speaks to its mature, Bordeaux‑inspired character.

About Opus One

Opus One is an iconic, Cabernet Sauvignon–led Bordeaux-style blend from estate vineyards in Oakville at the heart of Napa Valley, created as a Franco-American collaboration between Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Typically aged around 18–20 months in new French oak, it is known for its polished structure, dark cassis-and-blackberry fruit, floral and graphite notes, and a silky yet powerful palate that delivers long aging potential and a seamless marriage of Old World elegance with New World richness.
