The scores for 2010 Opus One Napa Valley - Jeb Dunnuck - 98, Vinous - 97, Decanter - 97, The Wine Advocate - 96, James Suckling - 96. The rating for 2010 Opus One Napa Valley is 96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - A glorious perfume of sweet charcoal, truffle, black currants and spice box soars from the glass of the saturated purple-colored 2010 Opus One. The gorgeous aromatics are followed by a beautifully knit, full-bodied red blend (84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5.5% Merlot, 5.5% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec) displaying lots of spicy black currant fruit, medium to full body, velvety tannins, and not a hard edge to be found. The texture, length and richness are all impressive. This estate has been making great Cabernet-based wines for nearly a decade ... and this is another one. Drink it over the next 20+ years.
