Opus One was the first premium California wine to break into the European market and to be sold in Europe. It is one of the original "Cult Cabernets", like those of Harlan Estate, Screaming Eagle, etc. The idea of Opus One was conceived some 50 years ago in the 1970s and the first vintage was produced just a couple of months before I was born 1979, and released in 1984.
