In 2017, Opus One has a distinctly red-toned fruit profile that distinguishes it from the surrounding vintages. The current Opus One vintage (2015) retails on its website for 350. Everything is in balance with this beauty, which promises to age gracefully for at least. Exotic, beautifully perfumed and impeccable in its balance, Opus One is one of the most complete wines of the vintage. Opulent, ripe, fresh, silky, balanced and concentrated with a melange of black and red fruits, the wine feels great, as it loads you up on its layers of black cherry, smoke, blackberry, licorice and vanilla. As far as the eye could see were beaches, mountains. Plush fruit and soft, silky contours give the 2017 its racy personality. The view from the top of the tower was amazing as you have an unobstructed 360-degree view of California. " A remarkable wine for the year, the 2017 Opus One is a dense, full-throttle beauty. Medium-bodied, the palate has a lively skip in its step, featuring bags of juicy raspberry and cassis-laced fruit and a refreshing line, supported by ripe, plush tannins, finishing long and graceful." -LPB, 10/31/19 Opus one winery elaborates this 2017 opus one (545.47), a red wine. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it slowly grows on the nose, revealing compelling notes of baked black cherries, mulberries, black raspberries, warm cassis and blackberry pie with nuances of spice cake, yeast extract, tapenade, licorice and dusty soil with a waft of wild sage. A fist of late summer cherries, raspberry and bilberry fruits set out their stall, all with the juicy character that confirms, even in a hot vintage like. This seductive wine shows flavors of black cassis, black cherry and a hint of cocoa powder.
The 2017 Opus One, bottled in July 2019, is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4.5% Merlot and 1% Malbec. "Opus One had picked 91% of their fruit before the fires started in 2017, and only two lots were eliminated from consideration.
