Opus One Is Here

I’m keeping it short and sweet today. Last week, we were fortunate enough to receive six bottles of the newly released 2021 Opus One, along with a beautiful wooden presentation box. This is an exemplary wine from an excellent vintage and one that has already received top scores from critics across the board. If your wine collection has an Opus One sized gap, it's a great day to fix that!

2021 Opus One $434

99 James Suckling: "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." (05/24)

96-99 Points, Jeb Dunnuck: "More in the structured style of the 2018 as opposed to the voluptuous style of the 2019, the 2021 Opus One is another riveting wine from this estate. Pure cassis, graphite, chocolate, and nicely integrated oak, as well as an undeniable sense of minerality, all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, building tannins, wonderful purity and precision, and a great finish. This is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet in the making, and it's going to evolve for 20-25 years if well stored." 02/23
