The red wine Opus One, vintage 2014 from the winery Opus One Winery has been rated in 2020 by Peter Moser with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec from the region Napa Valley in United States.
Dark ruby garnet with purple reflexes and a touch of edge brightening. Liquorice and cassis mark the somewhat restrained nose, with some cardamom, fresh orange zest and fine wood spice in the background - it will benefit from some air. Complex and very elegant on the palate, with a tightly woven structure that's pronounced in fruit texture and supported by fine acidity. A chocolaty aftertaste rounds off a full-bodied and persistent palate, with black cherries dominant on the long finish. Very promising.
