Opus One 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Blend Napa Valley   £295.00

Opus One Vintage 2002 produced small, concentrated berries and an excellent unhurried harvest.  The 2002 shows aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry liqueur, plum and fresh vanilla, with hints of Graham cracker and black pepper. A subtle creamy entry is followed by intense of ripe black cherry, cassis and dark chocolate finishing with lingering black fruit and spice. Barrel ageing 17 months in New French Oak.

Opus One was the brainchild of two legendary wine greats, the late Baron Philippe de Rothschild, owner of the great first-growth Bordeaux, Château Mouton Rothschild, and Napa Valley's most famous vintner, Robert Mondavi. These two creative men agreed to pool their resources and make a joint-venture wine in 1978.  The first Opus One vineyard utilized a block of the To-Kalon Vineyard, which had been owned by Robert Mondavi.  Mondavi's son, Timothy Mondavi, and Mouton Rothschild's winemaker became joint winemakers of Opus One; both winemakers had their own team of assistants.  In 1983, the main vineyard was purchased by Opus One, almost opposite the Robert Mondavi Winery on Highway 29 in Oakville.  The next year a magnificent state-of-the-art, gravity-flow winery was built; 1984 also marked the debut of Opus One's first two vintages, the 1979 and 1980. The 2002 Opus One, its varietal composition practically the same as the 2001, has the power and intensity of this great vintage combined with the supple qualities of the 1993 Opus. A bit leaner than some of the more lush Opus Ones, but with great concentration of cassis and black fruit flavors.
