Opus One California, Napa Valley, red wine, Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml |
$300

Mondavi and his "across-the-pond" counterpart score another victory with their '98 vintage of the ultra-premium Opus One. Soft, suppleness gives way to rich currant and anise, settling with ample tannins. No need to age, but can round a bit with time.

| Up front it's supple in texture though firmly tannic, with grapey currant and black cherry. Turns firm, revealing its depth and concentration. 93 Points - Wine spectator |

| Like the '87, there's a wonderful sense of harmony and finesse to this graceful, elegant wine. Lots of complex flavors, with tiers of spicy currant and black cherry. Long, intricate aftertaste. 97 Points - Wine Spectator |

| A shade more elegant and refined than the '94, yet sharing the delicious range of flavors, with bright black cherry, plum and floral notes. Turns smooth and polished. |
