Product Description
The 2018 Opus One red wine hails from Napa Valley, California. It's a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Malbec. The renowned Opus One Winery, a joint creation of Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi, is dedicated to crafting a single, outstanding wine. Every bottle is carefully nurtured and made with precision, resulting in wines that are powerful, elegant, and complex. They age gracefully over decades. The 2018 vintage offers notes of boysenberries, warm cassis, and ripe, juicy black plums, along with emerging hints of lilacs, graphite, cinnamon stick, tilled soil, and black truffles. It has a full - bodied yet perfectly balanced taste.
To enjoy this Opus One 2018 red wine, first, let it breathe for about an hour by pouring it into a decanter. This helps open up the flavors. Serve it at a temperature around 60 - 65°F (15 - 18°C), which is ideal for red wines. When it comes to food pairings, it goes great with grilled steaks, lamb chops, or rich, cheese - based dishes. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Once opened, if you can't finish it all at once, cork it tightly and keep it in the fridge. It should still be good for a couple of days, but the flavors will gradually fade.
