2016 Opus One – Harmony and Grandeur from Napa Valley

The 2016 Opus One embodies the seamless balance of Old World refinement and New World precision that defines this iconic Napa Valley estate. A collaboration between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, Opus One continues to stand as a benchmark for Napa’s Bordeaux-style blends. The 2016 vintage is celebrated for its poise, complexity, and exceptional aging potential.

Tasting Notes

The 2016 vintage opens with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and violet, layered with notes of cedarwood, graphite, and mocha. On the palate, the wine displays rich dark fruit, velvety tannins, and remarkable purity. The finish is long and graceful, underscored by mineral tension and fine-grained structure—a hallmark of this outstanding year.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The blend is composed of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 8% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Malbec. Grapes were hand-harvested from the estate’s meticulously farmed vineyards in Oakville and surrounding areas. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel, followed by aging for 18 months in new French oak barrels. The estate’s focus on precision viticulture and minimal intervention allows each component to express its full potential.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2016 Opus One has been widely acclaimed as one of the greatest modern releases from the estate, offering a perfect balance between richness and restraint. It continues to appreciate among collectors of Napa Valley wines and stands as an essential addition to any cellar of California Cult Wines. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Specifics & Accolades

The 2016 vintage in Napa Valley was marked by moderate weather and a long growing season, allowing grapes to achieve full ripeness with impeccable balance. Opus One achieved exceptional harmony and depth in this remarkable year.

Jeb Dunnuck

(Rating 97+) The 2016 Opus One is brilliant and shows yet again that 2016 was a magical vintage for Napa Valley. Based largely on Cabernet Sauvignon mixed with 8% each of Petit Verdot and Merlot, with 5% Cabernet Franc and a splash of Malbec, its deep purple hue is followed by a beautiful bouquet of black cherries, crème de cassis, and blueberry fruit intermixed with notions of cedary spice, toasty oak, graphite, and flowers. With an almost Bordeaux-like class and structure, this full-bodied beauty has no hard edges, plenty of ripe tannins, and is extraordinarily pure, elegant, and long. It can be drunk today (give it a healthy decant) or cellared for 2-3 decades. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck. Tasting date: January 31, 2020. Drinking window: 2020-2050.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Opus One bursts from the glass with ripe blueberries, black cherry jam and crème de cassis with hints of violets, dark chocolate, cedar chest and cardamom, plus a touch of charcoal. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the palate delivers layer upon layer of opulent stewed black fruit with amazing tension and firm, ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing long with a whole array of exotic spices coming through.

(Rating 96+) The 2016 Opus One is a wine of real breadth and power. Black cherry, plum, leather and spice flesh out effortlessly, but what stands out most is the wine's textural intensity and sheer power. Readers will have to wait a number of years until the 2016 is at its best, but it is clearly another in a line of gorgeous recent Opus Ones from Michael Silacci and his team. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni. Tasting date: September 2019. Drinking window: 2024 - 2041.
