Group Made Wine

A question was asked in class about different wine makers coming together to make wine and I mentioned Opus One. Shortly after that day I arrived home to find this wine waiting to be tasted! The wine had an approachable deep dark fruit palette and a nose that matched, oak was evident but not nominant and it paired well with a pasta a meat sauce dish I made.
