OPUS ONE - A SINGULAR WINE For years, Opus One has been the one wine that has truly stood out in the Napa Valley. Its restrained, yet present fruit and pronounced earthiness disclose neither a true California Cabernet blend nor a direct descendant of its Bordeaux ancestors. Rather, it is a faithful integration of the partnership between Robert Mondavi, the infamous, progressive Napa Valley winemaker, and the late Baron Philippe de Rothschild from Chteau Mouton-Rothschild in Pauillac, France. Like many mixed breeds, Opus One tends to not fit in anywhere. It is too earthy for typical California styles and too fruity for a Bordeaux. Opus is a class act of its own.
