Opus One was founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, legendary proprietor of Chateau Mouton Rothschild and renowned Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi.

Showing a lustrous dark ruby, the 2004 Opus One presents aromas of violets, cedar, black tea leaves, black pepper and brioche. A soft, creamy entry gives way to a concentrated mid-palate that expands in the mouth and lingers on the finish. Elements of cassis, toffee and cocoa round out the rich flavors of the wine. Intense fruit, bright acid and sturdy tannins promise resilience and longevity. The Opus One is composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Malbec.

Like any great work, Opus One arose out of passion. Opus One's sole purpose is to express the vision and passionate spirit for generations to come.
