Opus One has been on a run of late, as the most recent vintages have all been stellar. Michael Silacci, the estate's Director of Viticulture and Enology showed me a handful of wines to help put the 2016 in context. It's hard go wrong with any of these four wines. More than anything else, though, what is truly impressive about Opus One is the quality of these wines considering that production is 24-25,000 cases, the equivalent of a First Growth and many times the production of Napa Valley's elite wines.

These are three stellar wines from Opus One. Michael Silacci continues to push the envelope of quality, which is remarkable for many reasons, the most important of which is the sheer scale of Opus One, which has no equal in Napa Valley at this level. One of the more recent developments at Opus One is an increased use of co-fermentations. As good as these bottled wines are, I am often just as impressed by the lots and blends I taste at Opus One that aren't bottled, as those wines say just as much about what the ambitions are at this reference point estate.

Opus One fans will find three fabulous wines in these current and upcoming releases. Both the 2013 and 2014 show all the promise they had from barrel, while the 2015 may very well turn out to be the most compelling of the three! Winemaker Michael Silacci has really upped the game at Opus One in recent years, and it shows.

The timing of my visit this fall to Opus One was not the best, as the 2013 had just been bottled, and I was therefore not able to taste it again. I did have a chance to revisit the 2012, which is of course very young, but also beautifully balanced. I also tasted three trial blends of the 2014 Opus One, although the wine I thought was the most complete of the three was not ultimately selected to be final blend. That just speaks to how potentially strong 2014 could turn out to be here. Although Opus gives off an air of exclusivity and luxury, behind the scenes Michael Silacci remains a student of the craft, one of the most thoughtful, introspective winemakers in Napa Valley.
