Sell your Opus One.
Opus One began as a partnership between Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild, and it is still one of the most collected wines from Napa Valley. One bottle or a vertical of ten vintages, we buy it.

How we price Opus One
Opus One is made in larger numbers than the cult Napa wines, so vintage and condition separate one bottle from the next. Strong years and older bottles kept cool carry the most.
A run of consecutive vintages is worth telling us about. We price each bottle, then make one offer for all of it.
How selling wine works
Tell us what you have
List each wine with its vintage, size and fill level, and add a photo of the bottle upright at eye level.
Get a firm offer
We price every bottle and send one written offer for the lot, usually within 48 hours.
Ship it, get paid
We send a free shipping kit, insured both ways. We inspect the wine when it arrives and pay you in 5 to 7 days.
Where should the fill be?
Wine slowly drops in the bottle as it ages. A high fill tells us the cork has held and the wine was kept well. Here is how we read it, on the two bottle shapes.
Bordeaux bottle (straight shoulders)
Good fill
- Into the neck
- Base of the neck
- Top of the shoulder
We look closely
- Upper shoulder
- Mid shoulder
- Low shoulder or below
Burgundy or Champagne bottle (sloped)
Good fill
- About 1 cm below the cork
- About 2 cm below the cork
- About 3 cm below the cork
We look closely
- About 4 cm below the cork
- About 5 cm below the cork
- 6 cm or more below the cork
A lower fill is not an automatic no. Older wine sits lower, and we look at every bottle on its own.

Selling Opus One: questions
Do you buy Overture?
In larger lots, yes. On its own it rarely makes sense to ship, so tell us how many you have.
Which vintages are you after?
All of them. Older vintages kept cool and the well regarded years bring the most.
