Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes: The aroma of Opus One 2018 is exceptionally aromatic and precise, featuring intense notes of vibrant black fruit—black cherry, cassis, and dark plum—intertwined with elegant hints of graphite, violet, espresso, and sweet pipe tobacco. On the palate, it is remarkably full-bodied, yet possesses an incredible freshness and seamless texture. Flavors of concentrated dark berries and juicy red fruits are complemented by layers of dark chocolate, licorice, and finely crushed stone. The tannins are incredibly refined and integrated, providing structure without harshness. The wine demonstrates exceptional balance, purity of fruit, and a classic elegance. The finish is incredibly long, persistent, and gracefully refined, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruit, mineral freshness, and subtle oak.
Food Pairings: This monumental Napa Valley red wine is ideally suited for grand culinary experiences. It pairs exquisitely with prime cuts of beef such as a perfect ribeye or chateaubriand, roasted venison, or slow-braised short ribs. Rich and complex lamb dishes, especially those with herbal notes, would also be superb. Consider it with dishes featuring truffle, deeply flavored mushroom preparations, or the finest aged hard cheeses to accentuate its layered complexity.
