Opus One 2010

Opus One 2010 is one of Napa Valley’s most iconic and collectible wines, bringing together the ambition of Bordeaux and the power of California. A true cult classic, it reflects the legendary partnership between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, whose vision helped shape one of the most prestigious names in modern winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2010 vintage shows deep, youthful colour and remarkable concentration. The nose is layered and refined, with dark cherry, plum, cassis, graphite, pencil shavings, and subtle mineral notes that give the wine a lifted, focused character. On the palate, it is elegant yet powerful, with firm structure, pure fruit, and impressive tension. The Cabernet Sauvignon backbone is supported by fine-grained tannins and a long, precise finish. This is a wine built for patience and will continue to develop beautifully over many years, gaining complexity and finesse with age.

Production
The grapes come from four carefully selected parcels in Napa Valley, an area ideally suited to Bordeaux varieties thanks to its warm climate and diverse soils. Harvesting is done by hand, with strict sorting both in the vineyard and in the cellar after destemming to ensure only the best fruit is used. Vinification includes 18 days of skin contact during fermentation, followed by 18 months of maturation in new French oak barrels. Before bottling, the wine is traditionally fined with fresh egg whites, a classic méthode that helps preserve clarity and elegance.

Food & Serving
Opus One 2010 is a natural match for premium dishes such as grilled ribeye, lamb rack, venison, duck breast, or beef tenderloin with rich sauces. It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses and truffle-based dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours, ideally longer if the bottle is still very youthful.

Producer
Opus One was born from a meeting between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi in 1970, with the first vintage created in 1979 and released in 1982. Since then, it has become one of California’s most celebrated wines and a global benchmark for luxury Napa Valley Cabernet blends. Today, Opus One remains a highly respected name, known for consistency, prestige, and exceptional quality across recent vintages.
