2015 opus one12/24/2023 ![]() “This wine was too much-too much like a caricature for me,” winemaker Michael Silacci confessed to me while tasting the 2015 Opus One together again recently. 81% cabernet sauvignon, 4% petit verdot, 7% cabernet franc, 6% merlot and 2% malbec. ![]() I like it slightly better than the excellent 2014.

The entry is vibrant with ripe dark fruit flavors of plum, blackberry and blueberry followed by hints of vanilla and cocoa. Initial dark fruit, spice and baking aromas in the 2015 Opus One are interwoven with seductive notes of violet, black tea, and sage. Harvest began on September 1 with short pauses heat spells and continued warmth allowed for the berries to be steadily picked at their ideal maturity. Warm summer months led to advanced veraison, which was followed by perfect ripening conditions. Cooler conditions during flowering ultimately lead to a smaller number of berries on each cluster and lower than average yields. Drought conditions persisted, and rainfall was erratic, with most of the much-needed rain falling at the end of the previous year and supplemented by only a single storm in February, which was enough water to sustain the vines. Marking the warmest year since 2008, the 2015 growing season set a record for early bloom.
