Tasting notes
The 2009 Opus One boasts a deep red color, reminiscent of the richness of ripe fruit. On the nose, aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, and spicy notes mingle with a floral touch. On the palate, this wine reveals a beautiful tannic structure, with flavors of dark fruit, dark chocolate, and a subtle minerality. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lingering and refined impression.

The Opus One vineyard is meticulously cultivated on clay-limestone and sandy soils, ideal for viticulture. The vines, planted at high density, benefit from optimal sun exposure, promoting even ripening of the grapes. The Mediterranean climate of Napa Valley, with its warm summers and cool nights, allows for a beautiful concentration of flavors while maintaining a balanced acidity, essential for the wines' longevity.
The team's opinion
A sunny and generous vintage, with opulent fruit and ample texture, ideal for lovers of controlled power.
