2010 Opus One – Napa Valley’s Grand Cru Classic

The 2010 Opus One marks a stunning vintage for this iconic estate, a seamless collaboration between Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Reflecting the elegance of Bordeaux and the power of Napa Valley, this release demonstrates balance, purity, and age-worthy finesse—hallmarks that have defined Opus One since its inception.

Tasting Notes

The 2010 vintage opens with captivating aromas of black cherry, cassis, and violet, framed by subtle notes of tobacco, graphite, and fine cedar. On the palate, it unfolds with precision—layers of black plum, espresso, and dark chocolate wrapped in polished tannins. A long, elegant finish underscores its harmony and refined structure.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Crafted from fruit grown exclusively in the estate’s Napa Valley vineyards, the 2010 Opus One blend consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A glorious perfume of sweet charcoal, truffle, black currants and spice box soars from the glass of the saturated purple-colored 2010 Opus One. The gorgeous aromatics are followed by a beautifully knit, full-bodied red blend (84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5.5% Merlot, 5.5% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec) displaying lots of spicy black currant fruit, medium to full body, velvety tannins, and not a hard edge to be found. The texture, length and richness are all impressive. This estate has been making great Cabernet-based wines for nearly a decade ... and this is another one. Drink it over the next 20+ years. Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr. Issue date: October 2013. Drinking window: 2013- 2033.

Vinous

Bright dark ruby. Initially reticent nose opened in the glass to reveal wonderfully complex scents of black- and redcurrant, blackberry, minerals, licorice, loam and tobacco leaf, plus a whiff of leather. Seamless, savoury and classy on entry if a bit subdued, then delivers lovely restrained sweetness and a complicating wildness in the middle palate that still calls for more bottle aging. Old World in its classic dryness, this highly concentrated Opus One really shines on its vibrant, slowly building back end, where the broad, dusty tannins caress and saturate the palate and allow the fruits and minerals to build. A wine of outstanding depth, clarity, finesse of grain and class; it's hard to imagine that this site could give more. Long-time winemaking director Michael Silacci noted that the estate did not strip leaves prior to the brutal August heat spike. Reviewed by: Stephen Tanzer, Issue date: April 2020. Drinking window: 2023-2042.
