About this bottle
From the Oakville estate founded by Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Opus One 2017 is a Napa Valley red blend led by 80 percent Cabernet Sauvignon with Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and a touch of Malbec. Nearly all of the fruit was harvested before the October 2017 wildfires reached the valley, and the wine carries no trace of the drama: dark fruit and rose aromatics over an earthy forest-floor base, then cassis, black cherry, and cocoa riding silky, fine-grained tannins into a long, supple finish. The estate bottles one grand vin each year, and 2017 proved it could deliver elegance in a hard vintage. Decant an hour ahead for a serious dinner, or cellar it well into the 2030s.
How to drink Opus One 2017
Use a large-bowled Bordeaux glass to let the aromatics open up, and serve at cool room temperature rather than cellar-cold. It's built for the table — pair it with grilled steak or lamb rather than sipping it solo.

Questions about this bottle
What food pairs well with Opus One?
Grilled or roasted red meat, especially steak or lamb, matches its structure and tannins best — it's built as a food wine rather than a solo sipper.
How long can Opus One age?
A vintage like 2017 can cellar well into the 2030s given proper storage, though it's also approachable with an hour of decanting if you want to open it sooner.
