This wine has an awesome story.
Are you familiar with Opus One? You have probably heard of it. It's like $200 per bottle. Heck, even visiting the winery sets you back a solid $60...that is without tasting anything. We've driven by Opus many times on Highway 29 and marveled at the beautiful vineyards. One thing we did not know, not all of those vineyards around the winery belong to Opus. Some of them belong to Nick Goldschmidt.
The picture above is taken from the Charming Creek vineyard, which is where Nick Golschmidt produces his 100% Oakville Cabernet "Hilary" named for his youngest daughter. That building in the background is Opus One. The distance for any golfers out there is basically a pitching wedge. Funny enough, the grapes from Charming Creek used to go into Opus One, but not anymore.
The best part of this little narrative, is that Nick Goldschmidt was kicked out of the Oakville Winegrowers Association when they found out where he was going to price this wine. Once we heard that he was basically our main man. Once we tasted the wine we bought everything we could get our hands on. Unfortunately only 155 cases.
So Opus One quality for $25. Sign me up.
