The 2019 Opus One is a profound Napa Valley red that earned 99 points from James Suckling and 97–99 from Wine Advocate, confirming its place among the finest vintages of this iconic estate. Deep garnet-purple in color, it opens with complex aromas of Black Forest cake, Morello cherry, mulberry, and black currant, layered with hints of licorice, rose, Sichuan pepper, and mineral tones. On the palate it is silky and refined, with satiny tannins and vibrant freshness framing rich layers of dark fruit, espresso, cocoa, and savory herbs. Powerful yet elegant, it finishes long and graceful, offering immediate appeal while promising exceptional longevity in the cellar.
