2021 Opus One

Country: U.S.A. Region: Napa Valley Vintage: 2021 Cépage: Cabernet Sauvignon (78%); Merlot (8%); Petit Verdot (6%); Cabernet Franc (6%); Malbec (2%) Size: 750 ml Rating(s): 97 (JD); 99 (JS) " An enticing aroma of violets, cherry blossoms, fresh blue and black fruit and great structure define this beautiful, age-worthy wine. Subtle layering of fruit and oak spices between firm, fine-grained and supportive tannins gives it a calm intensity. So elegant and polished. Hints of cinnamon and graphite accent blackcurrant and blueberry flavors that linger and grow in a long finish. Already attractive to drink, but best after 2029." James Suckling (JS) - 05/24
