Opus One 2005 Napa Valley Red Wine (750ml)

Opus One 2005 comes from a cool, slowly ripening Napa Valley season whose harvest extended into November. Cabernet Sauvignon accounts for 88% of this vintage's blend, giving collectors a clearly defined expression of the estate's approach.

Winery's Vintage Profile

The original notes highlight blueberry and rose with truffle, licorice and nutmeg accents. Blackcurrant, raspberry, olive and cocoa contribute to the described finish. These are the winery's historical vintage observations, not a recent tasting of the individual bottle; mature-wine condition varies.
