The 2021 Opus One, Napa Valley (750ml) was a Merchant's Pick

The 2021 Opus is "Brilliant" and "Riveting" • Collectors Take Note!

April 15, 2025

The 2021 Opus One lives up to the hype—and then some. A bold, beautifully structured wine, it drinks exactly as the glowing reviews suggest: layered, expressive, and built to age.

 

Opus One is rapidly becoming the most exclusive pour outside of Petrus!  With its Bordeaux-like elegance and California power, this is easily one of the most compelling Opus One vintages in recent memory.

 

"Gorgeous vivid plum colour, sculpted, balanced, with a ton of lift, waves of rose petals, iris and peony, soft grilled cumin, sage and white pepper spice. Love the hidden power here and the supple slightly chalky tannins that are structured in their architecture with a precision and carved quality. Precise, layered and stretched out, a brilliant Opus, concentrated and yet delicate." Jane Anson

 

Opus One, a Napa Valley iconic winery, is co-owned by Baron Philippe de Rothschild (owner of Chateau Mouton Rothschild and Chateau Clerc Milan).  In 2021 they have produced their best Opus One to date.

 

Collectors, take note—this is a bottle worth securing.

 

Enjoy!

“A classical vintage that perfectly suits the Opus style.”

Jane Anson • 100 / 100

"A classical vintage that perfectly suits the Opus style. Gorgeous vivid plum colour, sculpted, balanced, with a ton of lift, waves of rose petals, iris and peony, soft grilled cumin, sage and white pepper spice. Love the hidden power here and the supple slightly chalky tannins that are structured in their architecture with a precision and carved quality. Precise, layered and stretched out, a brilliant Opus, concentrated and yet delicate. Feels pared back and captures the spirit of early Opus, when it moved forward the conversation of what Napa could be."

“Another riveting wine from this estate.”

Jeb Dunnuck • 99 / 100

"The 2021 Opus One is another riveting wine from this estate. Pure cassis, graphite, chocolate, and nicely integrated oak, as well as an undeniable sense of minerality, all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, building tannins, wonderful purity and precision, and a great finish. This is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet in the making, and it's going to evolve for 20-25 years if well stored."

“So elegant and polished.”

James Suckling • 99 / 100

"An enticing aroma of violets, cherry blossoms, fresh blue and black fruit and great structure define this beautiful, age-worthy wine. Subtle layering of fruit and oak spices between firm, fine-grained and supportive tannins gives it a calm intensity. So elegant and polished. Hints of cinnamon and graphite accent blackcurrant and blueberry flavors that linger and grow in a long finish. Already attractive to drink, but best after 2029"

“Absolutely gorgeous.”

Vinous • 98 / 100

"The 2021 Opus One is absolutely gorgeous. Vibrant, layered and quite sensual in feel, the 2021 possesses the concentration and depth of years such as 2013 and 2010 but with more polished tannins. Dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mint and a touch of cinnamon open gracefully. Sweet floral notes extend the mid-palate into the finish, where silky tannins wrap it all together. The 2021 is an incredibly promising Opus One."
