Opus One, one of California’s most legendary wineries, has hired a new winemaker. Meghan Zobeck, formerly winemaker at Burgess Cellars, has been named director of winemaking for the 170-acre Oakville estate. Started by Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild as an audacious joint venture in the late 1970s, Opus One today touts 100 acres of vines in Napa Valley’s famed To Kalon vineyard, along with a 30,000 case-per-year production that enjoys a strong global market presence and collector prestige. The estate is co-owned by Bordeaux first-growth Château Mouton-Rothschild and Robert Mondavi Winery parent company Constellation Brands. Wine Spectator has the full story.
