Notes from critics
Our 1st taste of Opus One was a 2012 that, believe or not, we paired with cheeseburgers. It was love at 1st sip. Yes, if you visit the Opus One winery for a tasting, it is a pretentious and stingy experience that will not leave you wanting, but there is no denying that this wine is special and just delivers year after year. There's lots going on here starting with the ripe jammy blue and red fruits balanced by layers of exotic spices and lots of hints of wood. This is a special wine.

Fantastic aromas that are complex and complete with blackcurrants, blueberries and herbs, such as basil and bay leaf. But always subtle. Full-bodied yet linear and very refined with a very persistent finish. It shows drive and brightness. So refined at the end. Needs at least three to five years to come together.

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.
