Winemaker Notes
Vintage 2001 produced small, concentrated berries and an excellent unhurried harvest. The 2001 Opus One shows aromas of black currant, black cherry liqueur, plum, and frsh vanilla, with hints of graham cracker and black peppercorn. A supple, creamy entry is followed by intense flavors of ripe black cherry, cassis, and dark chocolate, finishing with lingering black fruit and savory spice.
Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 3% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
Critical Acclaim
WE95
Wine Enthusiast
Starts with tons of rich new oak in the aroma, showing the most inviting notes of cedar, cigar box and pencil lead that segue to the remarkable fruit. The attack is powerful, with a punch of cassis spreading broadly and deeply across the palate. With its sturdy, clean tannins, this beautiful wine displays classic power, elegance and balance.

Wilfred Wong
Saturated ruby hue. Exotic scents of ginger, star anise and plum. Velvety tannins and jammy flavors of raspberry liqueur and cassis. Layers of raspberry, blueberry and gingerbread in the mineral-laced close.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Performing better than it did eight years ago, the 2001 Opus One reveals a classic, French-like style with notes of cedar wood, melted licorice, black currants, roasted herbs and tobacco leaf. While not one of the stars of the vintage, it is a medium to full-bodied, outstanding effort that has reached full maturity. It should continue to drink well for another decade or more.
