{"product_id":"opus-one-2021-napa-valley-red-wine-750ml","title":"Opus One 2021 Napa Valley Red Wine 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eOpus One is one of the most celebrated wines in the world, born from a historic partnership between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Napa Valley pioneer Robert Mondavi. The two first met in 1970 and set out to create a single wine that would unite the traditions of Bordeaux with the potential of Napa Valley, and their shared vision, signed on every label, continues today at the estate in Oakville. The 2021 vintage carries special significance: after the wildfire-affected 2020 vintage was made in tiny quantity and never released, 2021 marked Opus One's return to release with a new vintage. The growing season was unusually dry, with the second-lowest rainfall in the estate's history, while cooler temperatures early in the season and a warm summer without prolonged extreme heat produced small, concentrated berries with great purity. The wine is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and half a percent each of Merlot and Malbec, grown on the estate's Oakville vineyards and aged in new French oak barrels. Expect an alluring nose of black and red cherry, cassis, blueberry, violets, cedar and graphite, with notes of sandalwood and minerals. The palate is elegant and poised, medium- to full-bodied, with silky, super-refined tannins and layers of dark fruit, tobacco and spice. The finish is long, with dark chocolate, black tea and licorice. Approachable now with decanting, it has the structure to develop beautifully for decades.\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\u003e2021\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\u003e93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 0.5% Merlot, 0.5% Malbec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew French oak barrels\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 before serving\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 ruby to garnet purple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black and red cherry, cassis, blueberry, violets, cedar, graphite and sandalwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elegant and poised, with silky tannins, dark fruit, tobacco and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with dark chocolate, black tea and licorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat grapes are in Opus One 2021?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, and half a percent each of Merlot and Malbec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is there no 2020 Opus One?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wildfire-affected 2020 vintage was made in tiny quantity and was not released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho created Opus One?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I drink it now?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with decanting, but it will continue to develop for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I pair it with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrime beef, lamb, game or aged hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy Opus One 2021 online?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable here at Liquor On Broadway while stock lasts, with fast insured shipping nationwide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Opus One","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50754784329983,"sku":null,"price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6401\/7997\/files\/opus-one-2021-napa-valley-red-wine-750ml-2502943.webp?v=1792720153","url":"https:\/\/www.liquoronbroadway.com\/products\/opus-one-2021-napa-valley-red-wine-750ml","provider":"Liquor On Broadway","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
