With Opus One, Robert Mon­davi and Baron Philippe de Roth­schild embarked on a chal­lenge of cre­at­ing a bona fide Napa First Growth, an ultra-pre­mi­um Caber­net Sauvi­gnon to rival the best cru classé wines of Bordeaux’s Left Bank. Enter­ing the grounds of Opus One Win­ery – locat­ed next-door to Napa’s famous Oakville Gro­cery – one is giv­en no room to doubt its icon­ic sta­tus. From its ele­gant colon­nad­ed recep­tion build­ing to the pris­tine gar­dens, this is a win­ery whose every detail speaks of an uncom­pro­mis­ing com­mit­ment to qual­i­ty that is reflect­ed in its icon­ic wines.
