Proprietary Red 750ml

Bottle size

Acclaimed by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate as one of Opus One Winery’s most significant offerings of the early part of the 21st century – 2002 Opus One Proprietary Red is a premium example of authentic Napa Valley wine in all its glory! Composed in the Bordeaux style, this much-loved red wine is composed of 5 carefully selected grape varietals, namely; 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec, and 2% Petit Verdot. Expertly curated at the hands of Opus One’s head winemaker Michael Silacci, 2002 Opus One is aged a minimum of 20 months in virgin French oak barrels and experienced 32 days of skin contact maceration. From the first pour, aromatic notes of spring flowers over thinly sliced oak and cassis greet the nose. This is complemented by a palate of brewed French coffee, chocolate, and a surprising hint of wood smoke.…

About the brand

Established in 1978, Opus One is a brand of premium California wine produced in Oakville. The brand was launched by Baron Philippe de Rothschild of the famous Rothschild family and owner of Chateau Mouton Rothschild, and Robert Mondavi - a world-renowned wine producer - and has skyrocketed into fame to become one of California's First-Growth wineries. First marketed under the name NapaMedoc - it was renamed Opus One in 1982. The winery is now co-owned by Rothschild and Constellation Brands, who purchased Robert Mondavi Winery in 2004 and negotiated a 50/50 venture with the Baron the following year. Opus One produces an estimated 25,000 cases annually and is cited as one of California's ultimate cult wines, offering primarily Bordeaux-style grape varieties. Under the watchful eye of wine master Michel Silacci, Opus One has reached worldwide acclaim, becoming the first ultra-premium California wine sold throughout France and internationally.
