2022 Opus One – Napa Valley’s Modern Icon

The 2022 Opus One represents a seamless expression of Napa Valley’s power and precision. Founded as a collaboration between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, Opus One remains one of the most distinguished names in Napa Valley and a benchmark for California Cult Wines. The 2022 vintage continues this legacy with extraordinary purity, elegance, and age-worthy balance.

Tasting Notes

Radiant aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, and violet intermingle with notes of dark chocolate, cedar, and fresh herbs. On the palate, the 2022 Opus One is poised and polished, with layers of ripe blackberry, cassis, and spice framed by velvety tannins. A lifted mineral core and long, graceful finish highlight the wine’s hallmark refinement and longevity.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The 2022 Opus One is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, sourced from the estate’s meticulously farmed vineyards in Oakville. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel before aging for 18 months in new French oak barrels. The resulting wine achieves harmony between Napa Valley intensity and Bordeaux-inspired structure, true to the founding vision of Opus One.

Investment & Collectibility

As one of the world’s most recognizable luxury wines, the 2022 Opus One continues to command global demand. Its consistent critical acclaim, limited production, and impeccable aging potential make it a cornerstone of any fine wine investment portfolio. Perfect for your collection.

The 2022 Opus One shows the sunny, perfumed style of the vintage. Black raspberries, smoked tobacco, incense, and spicy wood notes all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a supple, layered mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and a great finish. I’ve been lucky enough to do many retrospectives of this wine, so I have no doubt it will evolve gracefully for a solid two decades. Reviewed by: Jeb Dunnuck, issue date: January 2025.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Picked before, during and after the year's early September heat, the 2022 Opus One—a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 6.5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot and 0.5% Malbec—admirably reflects the vintage, boasting a ripe, extroverted personality but also a slightly open-knit, coarser mouthfeel than either the 2021 or 2023. Rosemary and sandalwood notes accent cherries on the nose, while the medium- to full-bodied palate is expansive and plush, finishing with ample length and soft tannins.

Vinous

(Rating: 92+). The 2022 Opus One is a soft, relatively easygoing wine from an extremely challenging vintage in which the estate decided to pick straight through the heat. The 2022 offers terrific brightness throughout. Today, the tannins are a bit searing in their intensity, so it will be interesting to see how things ultimately shake out here. I find the 2022 is a bit edgy in its contours at this stage. Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni, issue date: December 2024. Drinking window: 2027 - 2042.
