We’re thrilled to have earned the opportunity to bring this one-of-a-kind wine to your cellar.Opus One Red Wine 2019 is a luxurious and highly sought-after blend of Bordeaux varietals, crafted with the utmost care and precision. Raised for 19 months in new French oak barriques that were made to precise specifications by 12 different coopers, it’s one of the greatest vintages the winery has produced in the 40+ years since the Bedroom Summit. The 2019 vintage contains all five Bordeaux varieties and is dominated by 78% Cabernet Sauvignon. From vineyard to tank, the journey rarely takes over 12 hours. At harvest, the fruit goes directly into the immaculate winery, where 170 acres’ worth of grapes are judged, one by one, as worthy or unworthy of Opus One. Opus One grows on four unique vineyard plots in the choicest section of Oakville: the Ballestra and River Parcels, which flank the winery itself, and To Kalon North and South, located across Highway 29. Wine Advocate gave it 97–99-higher than 16 of the last 20 vintages rated-and called it “a truly magnificent Opus One in the making!” Grown in one of the top vintages of the past decade, James Suckling gave it a near-perfect 99-point score. There’s no doubt that we are currently in Opus One’s Golden Age, and with the 2019, winemaker Michael Silacci is pushing the standard ever higher. The idea had been cooking since the men first met eight years earlier, and now-as we offer you the 41st vintage-Opus One is simply one of the great wines of the world. In 1978, in what’s known as the Bedroom Summit, Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild cemented their plan for Opus One.
