Opus Wine - Price Estimate?

A friend of mine has 17 bottles of semi-vintage wine, no bottle perhaps not more than 40 years old. In any event an auction house agreed to sell the lot of them. Typical of the selection she has is a 1989 Napa Valley Opus I. To get an idea of what her wine might be worth, she asked me to peruse a wine group and ask what she might expect to get for that bottle of wine should she sell it separately. Any opinions? Thank you kindly.

Probably around $100 at auction, minus the shipping and comissions fees she'd have to pay to sell it.

will give you prices being asked by a large number of wine merchants who sell on line. The Opus One is in the $90 - $100 range.

Be forewarned, however, that the wine-searcher prices reflect the retail market rather than auction prices (which are typically quite a bit lower). The suggestion of perusing winecommune's prices is a good one. In addition,

used to have a link to check Chicago Wine Company's auction price database. You can see if they still do.
