About this Item

Opus One
Red, 2007
1 (1 x 1) 375ml

Opus One was founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, legendary proprietor of Château Mouton Rothschild, and renowned Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. By combining the great winemaking traditions and innovations of both families, the founders’ singular goal was to create an exceptional wine in the heart of Napa Valley. Opus One, like any great work, arose out of passion. Dedicated to uncompromised quality, Opus One’s sole purpose is to express this vision and passionate spirit for generations to come.

Critics Ratings

‘Composed scarlet with some age at the rim. Lovely edge of stoniness. Very vigorous and rather bordelais in its drive. Though it’s pretty rich in the middle. I don’t think on the palate it would ever be confused with a Pauillac! Great energy. Hint of menthol.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Mar 2019)

‘Two of the strongest wines ever made at Opus One, the 2007 has terrific black currant fruit, licorice, incense, and subtle smoke, an opulent, even voluptuous mouthfeel, dazzling purity and texture, and a skyscraper-like mouthfeel. This is a sensational Opus One, with sweet tannin and impressive precision and depth. It can be drunk now or cellared for 25+ years.’ - Robert Parker Jr, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Dec 2009)
