This wine is labeled as a Napa Valley Red wine and interestingly is one of a select few annual release wines from any winery in the Napa Valley that is not labeled with a vintage date. However, since 1993 they have created a second much lesser known and promoted label called Overture. The focus of Opus One’s production is on a single world-class wine each year. His philosophy about promoting Napa Valley was that ‘the rising tide carries all ships’ – both promoting his own winery as well as his neighbors – essentially promoting Napa Valley as an entire region. Robert worked at Charles Krug Winery until branching out on his own to begin Robert Mondavi Winery in 1966. Robert Mondavi’s family has been in the Napa Valley since the 1940s they purchased Charles Krug Winery in 1943. And this is only their global wine business – they are involved in a diversity of other businesses including financial, mining, real estate and agricultural ventures. Today the Rothschild family owns numerous wine estates in Europe as well as in North and South America, South Africa and Australia.
Part of the Rothschild family also owns the equally iconic Château Lafite Rothschild. The Rothschild family traces their wine heritage back to 1853 when they purchased an existing chateau and renamed it to what is now the iconic Château Mouton Rothschild.
