The 2012 Opus One effuses fresh dark fruit aromas accentuated by subtler notes of forest-floor and graphite.

The wine’s round mouthfeel and satiny tannins wrap around classic flavors of cassis, blackberry and black cherry. This refined and age-worthy wine simultaneously offers a long lingering finish, with lively acidity and a sturdy structure at the close.

PAIRING
Throughout the meal, Opus One is a wine that goes well with large meat dishes, perhaps enhanced with a sprinkling of fine black truffle.
