Opus One - Red Blend 2001 (750ml) MarylandWinemaker 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%
Fining agent: none (natural clarification)
and new technology such as the Roman plough
an intense nose with aromas of candied fruit
and lemon blossom with the palate echoing these flavors along with green apple and lemon
and minimal amounts of Mazuela
the Castellani family have founded their high-quality wines on the belief that "the quality of the wine starts in the vineyard"
This wine is a fine match for oysters on the half-shell
with gravel
or a simple chicken caesar salad
Made in a modern style
The wine ends with a tannic and firm finish that either needs food now or time in the cellar
