The tasting highlighted Opus One’s evolution and included a selection of Silacci’s favourite vintages. The 2006 comes across as a bigger, more structured wine than the 2007. Today Opus One remains jointly and equally owned with Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. The Robert Mondavi Winery’s 50% share in the company passed to Constellation Brands on its acquisition in 2004. In 1981 a case of the first vintage of Opus One became the most expensive California wine sold to date, at $24,000. Opus One was born of the shared vision of two of the wine world’s most legendary figures: Baron Philippe de Rothschild, owner of Château Mouton Rothschild, and Robert Mondavi. He pointed out that the relative rise in alcohol levels in Opus One was moderate in the context of other Cabernet-based wines from California (12.9% in 1979 compared to 14.4% for the 2006 vintage), and that this is a trend that is not limited to California but extends to other regions, including Bordeaux. Silacci, whose first vintage at the winery was 2001, said that he aimed to ‘enhance tradition and maintain innovation’.
