Opus One was founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Napa Valley pioneer Robert Mondavi, whose signatures grace every label, to unite the traditions of Bordeaux with the exceptional terroir of Napa Valley. The 2012 growing season is remembered as a near-ideal year in Napa, with generous yields, steady warmth and an even ripening period that produced wines of balance, purity and polish. The wine is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 2% Malbec, grown on the estate's Oakville vineyards and aged 18 months in French oak before release in 2015. More than a decade on, it has entered a beautifully expressive phase, offering both the depth of its youth and the silky, seamless texture that comes with bottle age. Expect a seductive nose of warm cassis, blueberry, plum preserves and crushed raspberry, with candied violets, fresh herbs, mint, toasty oak and tilled earth. The palate is full-bodied and satin-textured, with seamless tannins and layers of blackcurrant, dark chocolate and hazelnut. The finish is long and elegant, lingering for minutes. Drinking beautifully now, with many years still ahead, it benefits from careful decanting to separate any sediment. A superb bottle for a milestone celebration or a serious collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWine Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOakville, Napa Valley, California\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed Wine, Bordeaux-style blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot, 2% Malbec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 months, French oak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReleased\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2015\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpus One Winery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eServing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 to 18°C; decant to remove sediment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep garnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cassis, blueberry, plum preserves, raspberry, violets, herbs, mint and toasty oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied and satin-textured, with blackcurrant, dark chocolate and hazelnut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, elegant and lingering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat grapes are in Opus One 2012?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 2% Malbec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it ready to drink?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
