Opus One 2018 Vintage Overview

2018 OVERVIEW

Opus One 2018 marries precise, cool-toned cassis and blackberry fruit with lifted floral notes and subtle spice, all wrapped in a poised, almost Bordeaux-like frame. The palate is concentrated yet airy, with sleek acidity, finely knit tannins and a long, mineral-tinged finish that emphasizes finesse over sheer power. A beautifully composed, quietly complex vintage that promises impressive longevity.

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.
