Winter and spring rains provided just 75 to 80 % of average rainfall, but moderate temperatures kept the vines from becoming water-stressed. Sunny and dry, March's weather resulted in an early bud break. The following months were cooler than average, extending the growing seasonsignificantly. Showing a profound depth of color, the 1994 Opus One has a rich, full body with supple, velvety tannins and intense aromas of licorice and spice. Retaining great freshness andelegance, the 1994 is a powerful wine which will improve for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, 1% Malbec\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e94Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStylish and inviting, this has unfurled nicely, with a drape of red currant and bitter cherry fruit backed by flashes of blood orange coulis, rooibos tea and apple wood. Sappy intensity is married to the long, juicy finish, which shows lovely energy, with a caressing edge and a subtly piercing iron note. Seems as if this will stay in this phase for a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e92Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is an impressive effort from Opus One. The wine, a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, and 1% Malbec, possesses a dark ruby\/purple color, followed by a generous, complex nose of lead pencil, toasty oak, violets, and black currants. In the mouth, there is a beautiful texture, soft, generous, low acid, full-bodied richness, and a stunningly proportioned, rich, intense finish. The influence of 18 months in new French oak casks gives the wine a subtle oaky note in addition to giving it excellent delineation. Because of the wine's softness and generosity, it can be drunk now as well as over the next 18-20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Logan, Opus One","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67956031946976,"sku":"132468","price":1199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/opus-one-red-blend_1_50405ea9-ed1a-4acf-8e1b-e77028467f1b.jpg?v=1792096566","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/opus-one-red-blend-1994-1-5l","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
