2021 Opus One – A Modern Benchmark from Napa Valley

The 2021 Opus One continues the estate’s legacy of blending Napa Valley’s power with Bordeaux's precision. Situated in Oakville, the winery represents a historic partnership between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, producing one of the most iconic California Cult Wines with a consistent record of excellence and ageability.

Tasting Notes

This youthful vintage offers a complex aromatic profile—blackcurrant, crushed violets, and cedar are layered with graphite, tobacco, and hints of cocoa. The palate is sleek and structured, showing purity of fruit and finely integrated oak. Fresh acidity and tightly knit tannins promise a long, graceful evolution in bottle.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The 2021 blend is typically dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with complementary portions of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and occasionally Malbec, all sourced from the estate’s meticulously farmed vineyards in Oakville. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in new French oak for 18 months, the wine is bottled with minimal handling to preserve its integrity and expression.

Investment & Collectibility

Opus One has long been a bellwether of luxury Napa Valley winemaking. With global recognition, strong secondary market demand, and critical acclaim year after year, the 2021 release will appeal to both seasoned collectors and investors. Perfect for your collection or as part of a broader vertical.

Vintage Insights

2021 in Napa Valley was marked by drought conditions that resulted in small berries and reduced yields—an ideal scenario for concentration and structure. Opus One's precision in vineyard management paid off, producing a wine of clarity, depth, and refinement. Early reviews suggest it will rank among the standout vintages of the decade.

More in the structured style of the 2018 as opposed to the voluptuous style of the 2019, the 2021 Opus One is another riveting wine from this estate. Pure cassis, graphite, chocolate, and nicely integrated oak, as well as an undeniable sense of minerality, all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, building tannins, wonderful purity and precision, and a great finish. This is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet in the making, and it's going to evolve for 20-25 years if well stored. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: Febuary 2023. Drinking window: N/A.

Vinous

The 2021 Opus One is absolutely gorgeous. Vibrant, layered and quite sensual in feel, the 2021 possesses the concentration and depth of years such as 2013 and 2010 but with more polished tannins. Dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mint and a touch of cinnamon open gracefully. Sweet floral notes extend the mid-palate into the finish, where silky tannins wrap it all together. The 2021 is an incredibly promising Opus One. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, Issue date: December 2023. Drinking window: 2026 - 2051.
