Great winemaking begins in the vineyard. At Opus One, traditional approaches are taken wherever they work best. And when modern techniques benefit the winegrowing process, they are used. It is this progressive thinking that allows them to make the world’s most celebrated wine. Opus One is a traditional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.

Tasting NotesSelective harvesting (the majority at night) produced a vintage recalling the generous 2001, with aromas of cassis, nutmeg, raspberries, cola, fresh oats, dark chocolate and forest floor. Polished, supple and harmoniously precise, the 2007 fuses a seamless mid-palate with soft yet sinewy tannins. The wine will age effortlessly for decades.
