This winery is the name of the joint venture founded in 1979 by the visionary Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton-Rothschild in Bordeaux and Robert Mondavi of California, and was founded in 1979 by the visionary Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton-Rothschild in Bordeaux and Robert Mondavi of California. The idea was to create a property on the best terroirs of Napa Valley, in order to achieve the quintessential quality of the fusion of new world style with old world style.
For the record, the first name found for this wine was Napamédoc. It was only later that the name Opus One was adopted by Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, whose silhouettes still adorn the label. Opus One wines are powerful and hedonistic. Over the years, they have become one of the most sought-after wines in Napa Valley.
