Description

Opus One 1998
owc
Bottle (6)

Xavier and Carolyn Valero built their collection bottle by bottle, purchasing directly from the California producers they most admired. Professionally stored in a climate-controlled facility, the wines have been impeccably preserved. This inaugural release showcases the Valeros’ passion for authenticity and excellence in California Cabernet.

"Savory herbs, mint, licorice and plums are woven together in a fabric of notable class. Still young and vibrant, the 1998 is an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next decade. The focus, length and persistence are all super-impressive, especially within the context of a challenging vintage." (93 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, June 2013)
