ROBERT PARKER 95 points ''One of the strongest wines ever made at Opus One, the 2007 has terrific black currant fruit, licorice, incense, and subtle smoke, an opulent, even voluptuous mouthfeel, dazzling purity and texture...
|
Intense medley of pear, apple, fig, pineapple. Citrus blossom, creme brulee, crushed rock/mineral, lemon zest. Rich, oily texture. Deep flavours. Firm acidity balanced by sweet fruit.
|
This rich, fleshy 2008 may turn out to be more juicy and succulent than the 2007.
|
This fine Zinfandel offers aromas of rich, black fruits imbued with exotic spice from new oak, followed by a firm, well structured palate of berries, with superb concentration, firm acidity and fairly intense tannins.
|
A seductive and vigorous Zinfandel, with smoky black cherry and blueberry aromas and youthful wild berry, sage and cracked pepper flavors that have a lingering finish and zesty tannins. Drink now through 2012. 68,000 cases made.

“…one of the best non-malolactic, barrel-fermented Chardonnays in California …” – Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate
|
“One of California’s most popular luxury priced Merlots is also one of the state's best.” – Richard Nalley, Forbes
|
A real heavyweight wine packed with perfumed fruit and will complement similar concentrated flavours found in dishes such as Syrah-braised short ribs, smoked lamb with Relentless reduction, roast duck, as well as beef and game.
