Opus One is the best investment you could have made in wine the last 30 years! There is no other wine that has come on the scene the last 40 years that is over 30,000 cases in production and that costs over $300 per bottle. You can argue that there are better wines at a lower price, but there is no disputing that Opus One is the most successful wine brand created in our lifetime. The newest release is here and although the wine continues to go up in price it has not slowed the demand for this iconic wine as it is sold in over 80 countries the world over and is considered to be one of the most prestigious brands in the wine business. Even the French tasters, Pierre-Emanuel Taittinger, Eric Rousseau and Pierre Lurton had nice things to say about this first growth of the Napa Valley. The 1979 showed brilliantly on that occasion as it did in 2010 when we showed it at the great wine seminar with Opus’s CEO David Pearson. We have always been big fans of Opus One and have hosted several events over the years with this winery including an event that put all 26 consecutive vintages released at that time of Opus One on the table. Well, it is kind of ironic that the wines from this winery are now getting the best press ever. September means it’s time for the fall releases and none of these are more highly anticipated than the iconic Opus one and this year since we have 10 vintages of this first growth of Napa Valley in the store I thought it would be appropriate to host a vertical tasting of Opus One to celebrate the new release.Īre there two men that walked the earth over the last 100 years that were more important to the wine industry as a whole?
