- Vineyard notes: "The estate vineyards of Opus One, comprised of 4 parcels, sit in the western portion of the famed Oakville AVA. Two parcels, totaling 100 acres, are within the renowned To Kalon Vineyard. These are complemented by the combined 70 acres of the Ballestra and River parcels, which envelop the winery. In the vineyards, hand-harvesting and other traditional approaches are taken wherever they work best. When modern techniques benefit the winegrowing process, they are researched, evaluated and integrated into practice."

2020 Vintage Tasted: Mar 2023

Very aromatic with flowers, iodine, blackcurrants, and violets. Medium-bodied with creamy tannins, with a softness and brightness. Polished and subtlety fruity. A pure cabernet with orange peel and crunchy fruit. Primary and delicious. Will age too. Drink or hold.
