Opus One Napa Valley Red 2023 is a dry red Bordeaux-style blend from Oakville in Napa Valley, California: 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec. Opus One was founded by Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild, with 1979 as the first vintage.
The 2023 was fermented with native yeasts and aged 19 months in mostly new French oak; it is also the first vintage farmed regeneratively.
Expect cassis, blackberry and red cherry with violets, graphite, tobacco and cocoa, fine-knit tannins and a long, mineral finish. Decanter and Jeb Dunnuck each give it 98 points, Wine Advocate 96+ and Wine Spectator 95.
Compared with a straight Napa Cabernet, Opus One is layered and restrained in the Bordeaux style, built to age 30 years or more.
Decant it for an hour and serve with prime rib, lamb or aged cheese, or keep it in the cellar.
Shop more Cabernet Sauvignon, red blends and red wine, with Brooklyn pickup and same-day delivery across NYC.
