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.
