Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Opus One Wine known for?
Opus One Wine is primarily known for its flagship Bordeaux-style red blend, crafted with precision and elegance. These wines typically feature a dominant proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec. The result is a wine of structure, complexity, and ageing potential. Opus One wines are celebrated for their layered flavours—think cassis, dark cherry, graphite, tobacco leaf, and fine-grained tannins—offering a harmonious balance between richness and restraint. These wines are made in a single proprietary blend each vintage, reflecting the unique character of the year and the estate’s Oakville vineyards. While the red blend is the focus, every vintage is approached with the goal of achieving elegance, longevity, and expression of place. This consistent dedication to quality has made Opus One a benchmark among American luxury wines.

Where are Opus One wines made?
Opus One wines are made in the Oakville AVA, a prestigious subregion of California’s Napa Valley. The estate, located along the western bench of the valley, benefits from ideal grape-growing conditions including well-drained soils, ample sunshine, and cooling influences from the Pacific Ocean. These conditions support the development of ripe, concentrated fruit while maintaining fresh acidity. Opus One’s vineyards are sustainably farmed and divided into distinct blocks, each contributing unique elements to the final blend. The winemaking facility itself was designed to support gravity flow production and minimal intervention, ensuring that the character of the grapes and terroir is preserved in each bottle. Napa Valley’s international reputation for producing exceptional Cabernet-based wines is exemplified in Opus One’s refined and age-worthy expressions, which have become symbolic of the region’s potential and global appeal.

What are the best Opus One wines?
The best Opus One wines are often distinguished by their vintage character and critical acclaim. Vintages such as 2013, 2016, and 2018 are particularly renowned for their balance, power, and longevity. The 2013 vintage is noted for its concentration and structure, while 2016 brought finesse and purity. The 2018 release is widely praised for its aromatic intensity, vibrancy, and cellaring potential. Each vintage of Opus One is a singular cuvée, representing the estate’s expression for that particular year. While they do not produce a range of labels, their consistent commitment to quality means that collectors value nearly every release. Special library releases and large formats are also highly sought after. Opus One’s signature lies in its ability to seamlessly meld Napa Valley fruit with the elegance of Bordeaux-inspired winemaking, creating wines that are as impressive upon release as they are decades later.

Are Opus One wines affordable?
Opus One wines are positioned firmly within the luxury category, and as such, they are not typically considered affordable in a general sense. With each vintage often retailing above AUD $400, and older vintages or large formats fetching significantly higher prices, these wines are best suited to collectors, investors, or those seeking a prestige wine experience. The pricing reflects not only the wine’s consistent critical acclaim and limited production but also the heritage of its founders and its iconic status within Napa Valley. However, for enthusiasts of fine wine, the value of Opus One lies in its reliable quality, ageing capacity, and collectability. While not budget-friendly, it remains a wine that delivers on prestige and performance, often compared to top-tier Bordeaux or other world-class Cabernet blends. For those seeking investment-worthy or special-occasion wines, Opus One remains a compelling option.
