'Offers a rich core of earthy dark berry and touches of rustic loam and dried leather scents, the latter of which give this a drying sensation on the palate. A beauty.' - Stephen Tanzer (May/Jun 2013) 'Maybe my best vintage yet,' said winemaker Michael Silacci. Boasts great clarity and outstanding depth, not to mention a finesse of texture rare for California cabernet. Really stains the palate without leaving any impression of weight. Wonderfully suave and silky in the mouth, with terrific concentration and aromatic lift to the savory dark berry, crushed stone and mineral flavors. Riper on the nose than the young 2011, offering scents of blackcurrant, minerals, graphite, licorice and leather. '(the blend is based on 84% cabernet sauvignon): Good saturated medium ruby. Drink it over the next 20+ years.' - Robert Parker (Oct 2013)ĩ5 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: This estate has been making great Cabernet-based wines for nearly a decade. The texture, length and richness are all impressive.

'A glorious perfume of sweet charcoal, truffle, black currants and spice box soars from the glass of the saturated purple-colored 2010 Opus One. Needs about four years to soften.' (June 2014)ĩ6 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: A powerful and poised wine with well-crafted tannins. 'One of the best ever from Opus, it shows beautiful blackcurrant cabernet sauvignon character. This is a picture perfect rendering of this great Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon vintage. The 2010 stands out for its exceptional minerality, tension and pure power. Dark cherries, plums, graphite, cassis and pencil shavings are all woven together in a fabric of notable class and elegance. 'One of the highlights among the more recent releases, the 2010 Opus One is flat-out gorgeous. Ratings & Reviews 97 Points - Antonio Galloni:
