2022 Opus One Napa Valley Proprietary Red

Few wines in the world command the same reverence as Opus One—a partnership born in 1979 between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Napa Valley legend Robert Mondavi. Their vision was to create a single Bordeaux-style wine that would embody the elegance, structure, and longevity of the great wines of France, married with the ripe fruit expression of Napa Valley. The first vintage, 1979, was released in 1984, and from that moment, Opus One became a benchmark for luxury wine worldwide.

Today, Opus One remains one of the most sought-after wines in the U.S., crafted with precision from estate vineyards in Oakville. Each vintage reflects the meticulous attention to detail that has made this wine a collector’s dream and a connoisseur’s delight.

This September marks the release of the 2022 Opus One, a wine that has already captured critical acclaim—earning three separate 97-point scores from Decanter, International Wine Report, and The Wine Independent. This vintage is praised for its lush dark fruit, floral elegance, and remarkable balance—accessible on release yet built to age for decades.
