It brings together five\n    classic Bordeaux grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc,\n    Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The 2012 growing season was distinguished by moderate temperatures,\n    abundant sunshine and well-timed rainfall. The resulting fruit displayed\n    remarkable flavour depth, layered complexity and excellent structure while\n    retaining the brightness and freshness sought by the Opus One winemaking team.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    After 18 days of skin contact, the wine was matured for 17½ months in new\n    French oak. The finished wine combines concentrated dark-fruit character\n    with satiny tannins, lively acidity and a long, structured finish.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eOfficial Vintage Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Following a warm and dry winter, generous rainfall arrived in March in\n    time for budbreak and supplied the vineyards with the water needed for the\n    remainder of the growing season.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Moderate temperatures and generous sunshine continued throughout the\n    season, producing what Opus One describes as one of Napa Valley’s most\n    exceptional vintages. At harvest, the fruit expressed the classic\n    character of the winery’s Oakville estate vineyards, with significant\n    flavour depth, complexity and structural balance.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Picking began on 21 September 2012 while the fruit retained freshness and\n    lively flavour. Careful management of the incoming grapes allowed the\n    harvest to progress evenly until its completion on 20 October 2012.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eOfficial Tasting Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Fresh dark-fruit aromas are complemented by more restrained nuances of\n    forest floor and graphite. The rounded palate and satiny tannins frame\n    classic flavours of cassis, blackberry and black cherry.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Refined and structured, the wine combines energetic acidity with a firm\n    foundation and a long, lingering finish.
