The flavors are bright, precise and beautifully delineated. This is one of the more restrained recent vintages of Opus One and yet all the elements are impeccably balanced. "The 2014 Opus One is super-classy, elegant and polished, with mid-weight structure and tons of pure class. Medium-bodied, finely crafted and with an energetic line lifting the red and black fruits, it has a bold frame of grainy tannins and a very long, earth and spice-layered finish." - Wine Advocate "The Opus One 2014 sports an inky purple color and nose of crushed black and red currants, black cherries and mulberries with touches of underbrush, sautéed herbs and pencil shavings plus a waft of spice box. Drinkable but better in 2020." - James Suckling Exquisite tension and finesse with an almost Burgundian texture, yet it’s Napa in its soul with ripe fruit, stones, spices and Chinese tea leaf flavors. "Mesmerizing aromas of flowers, bark, currants and blackberries. Opus One is the realized dream of two men: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi.
