But to each their own.Īlso, shouldn't the standard for judging whether a $300 bottle of wine is overpriced be $250 bottles of wine? That said, for some of these wines the most recent vintage I've had is '01 or '02, and I'm really not a big fan of most Cabernet (hence not having had them on in so long) and things might have changed BUT U.S. I'd say they're at least as good, half the price, and I'd prefer drinking them over Opus. We had it blind and it was overextracted, hot mess that when put blind against other cali cabs in a theme called 25 v 200+ we thought it was a 25$ btl Regarding it being over-priced these days, I again call BS and challenge anyone to name any other current release premium Cali Cab that release from the winery under $150, and that you'd consider better than Opus.Ĭali wine prices have all jumped the shark, but the reality is that $200 - $350 is the new normal for premium Cali Cab. Everyone thinks it's a cliche to call Opus One great, but that's just being counter-culture because it's the wine doctors, lawyers, dentists, and bankers buy when they wanna spend a lot on a bottle and don't know any better. My point is, I've never had a bottle of Opus One (from current release to 25+ year-old examples) that I didn't think was, at least, very good. Stop caring what people think, and drink Opus One because it's actually very good Realize Opus One is in fact very good, but it isn't cool to call Opus One good Love the wine, come to find out, it's an Opus One A supple, creamy entry is followed by intense flavors of ripe black cherry, cassis, and dark chocolate, finishing with lingering black fruit and savory spice.
2001 opus one cracker#
Someone sneaks a bottle of Opus One into blind tasting The 2001 Opus One shows aromas of black currant, black cherry liqueur, plum, and fresh vanilla, with hints of graham cracker and black peppercorn. Make fun of people who call Opus One the best Get made fun by "serious" wine nerds for calling Opus One the best Keep drinking more with bigger wine nerds and tell everybody how good this "Opus One" wine is Drink Opus One, it's the best wine ever Wait for special occasion, buy Opus One Go to store, see Opus One, it is indeed expensive One day, your dentist tells you about this amazing expensive wine he drank last weekend called "Opus One" Venture into wine, start drinking a lot of reds Here's my theory on the Opus One life-cycle.
