Why We're Buying
Napa Valley is home to 375 wineries. According to Wine-Searcher.com, none of them produce a wine more sought-after than Opus One. That mythical status has only grown with time. Opus One was the first American wine sold through La Place de Bordeaux. It has also earned multiple 100-point ratings from critics. Wine writer Marisa D’Vari even declared Opus One “the perfect fusion of Napa Valley and Bordeaux.” As the bridge between Napa Valley and Bordeaux, 2015 Opus One lets investors enjoy the best of both worlds. It has a full, muscular body that manages to remain light on its feet. Soaring notes of lavender, violets, black fruits, and earthiness imbue brightness alongside the plush tannins and everlasting finish. In the words of Jancis Robinson, 2015 Opus One “nicely [exemplifies] the new, fresher Napa Valley school.” The Final Sip: 2015 Opus One takes the best parts of Napa Valley and Bordeaux and brings them to one bottle.
Critics Scores
James Suckling
Purity and brilliance on the nose with so much currant and flower character. Roses, currant bush and fresh leaves, too. Brightness is the word that comes to mind. Full-bodied and broad-shouldered. Juicy and so gorgeous now. Balance is so wonderful here. All about harmonious fruit and tannin balance. I like it slightly better than the excellent 2014. 81 cabernet sauvignon, 4 petit verdot, 7 cabernet franc, 6 merlot and 2 malbec. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator
Pure, rich dark berry, plum and gravelly earth flavors are framed by spicy, cedary oak notes, ending long, clean and elegant, with just the right touch of tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec. Best from 2020 through 2030.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This wine was too much—too much like a caricature for me,” winemaker Michael Silacci confessed to me while tasting the 2015 Opus One together again recently. “So, when we took it out of barrel to prepare for bottling we added a few more components.” Medium to deep garnet-purple color, it bursts from the glass with beautiful violets, lavender, rose hip tea and chocolate-covered cherries scents over a core of crushed blackberries, black cherries, cassis and iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is wonderfully bright and crunchy, with bags of fresh black and red berries and a wonderfully plush, finely grained texture, finishing long and fragrant
