The building sits in harmony with its natural surroundings, offering a soft transition from the vineyard to its lush, green grass exterior. Rising gently from the earth around it, the Opus One winery does not rush to reveal itself. Nearly four decades later, we continue to refine the complex subtleties of Opus One by honoring traditional methods and the continual pursuit of innovation and improvement. When our founders created Opus One, they dreamed of a great wine that would transcend generations. It’s warmth of heart and generosity of spirit.”īy combining the great winemaking traditions and innovations of both families, the founders’ singular goal was to create an exceptional wine in the heart of Napa Valley. This singular mission shapes every vintage, today and for generations to come. Together, our founders set out to create a single wine dedicated to the pursuit of uncompromising quality. Opus One, the realized dream of two men: was founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, legendary proprietor of Château Mouton Rothschild, and renowned Napa Valley Vintner Robert Mondavi. The blending of wine-lots across vintages and extended barrel aging give Overture a supple structure and silky texture. The classic blackberry and cassis character of Cabernet Sauvignon melds seamlessly with the black cherry, red currant and violet from the Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. This remarkable terroir expresses itself in the complex aromas, flavors and especially, textures of Overture. Overture is a timeless reflection of our Opus One estate vineyards. However, Overture’s third blending aspect – that of marrying multiple vintages – yields a softer, rounder expression of our estate that can be enjoyed upon release. Overture reflects the winemaker’s artistry by showcasing the talent of blending five traditional Bordeaux grape varieties and capturing terroir characteristics of the same variety grown in different soils. Overture shows generous dark fruit aromas and flavors with a soft, supple mid-palate.
