Bid on this bottle of 2012 Caymus "40th Anniversary" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (96RP, 92IWR, 91WS). Wine Advocate: "They appear to be immune to some of winedom’s less than intelligent trends and fads that we see from time to time, and the result is a spectacular 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary offering. Its dense purple/black color is followed by copious quantities of crème de cassis and blackberry fruit, silky tannins, a voluptuous texture and stunning purity as well as length. This full-bodied effort is a fabulous example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a tribute to this amazing family. Amazing! (RP)" (10/2014)

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2013 Marcassin "Marcassin Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir (94JD, 94RP). Wine Advocate: "The 2013 Pinot Noir Marcassin Vineyard doesn’t have quite the drama, depth of flavor or profound depth of the 2012. This dark plum/ruby-colored wine offers displays crisp acids as well as notes of Chinese black tea and orange rind, and builds incrementally in the mouth to a medium to full-bodied finish. By Marcassin standards, it’s just a brilliant wine rather than a compellingly great one. (RP) 94+" (03/2016)

Bid on this magnum of 2008 Dom Pérignon Brut Champagne (1.5L) (100JA, 98DC, 98JD, 98JH, 98JM, 98JS, 98VN, 96JG, 96RP, 96WS). Jane Anson: "Easily the best Champagne I had all year, first tasted at a château lunch. I couldn't stop thinking about it, and eventually bought a bottle for my husband's 50th. Just so much power and precision, while still having the delicacy, easy glamour and the most moreish delivery of fresh acidities and fleshy citrus. At it opens, toasted brioche, liqourice root and oyster shall curl out of the glass. Richard Geoffroy cellar master." (06/2021)
Current Bid: $525.00
Bid on this 4-bottle tasting lot; including 2-bottles of 2017 Smith Haut Lafitte, Pessac-Léognan (97JS, 97TWI, 97VN, 97WE, 96JD, 95DC, 95JA, 95WS) and 2-bottles of 2018 Smith Haut Lafitte, Pessac-Léognan (99JD, 98JA, 98JS, 97RP, 97WS, 96TWI, 96WE, 95VN). Of the 2018 Smith Haut Lafitte, Pessac-Léognan, Jeb Dunnuck writes: "The 2018 Château Smith Haut Lafitte is based on 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all of which was brought up in 60% new French oak. Its dense purple color is followed by an incredible perfume of blackcurrants, blueberries, camphor, scorched earth, chocolate, and tobacco. It's young and unevolved, yet the purity is off the charts, and it slowly gives up more spice and floral notes with time in the glass. Hitting the palate with full-bodied richness, it's an incredibly concentrated, powerful wine that has plenty of baby fat covering serious amounts of underlying structure and tannins." (03/2021)
Current Bid: $481.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2013 Palmaz "Gaston" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Gaston is Palmaz's premier wine, produced each vintage from the best lots. According to the Palmaz Vineyards website: "The Palmazes bought a forgotten stone winery, a fine old house badly in need of renovation, and acres of land that had once produced fine Napa wines. The little valley had been the site of Cedar Knoll Vineyard and Winery, founded in 1881 by Henry Hagen, one of Napa Valley's pioneer winemakers. Henry Hagen produced wines that garnered many awards, including a silver medal at the Paris Exposition of 1889. During that era, Cedar Knoll was one of Napa's premier wineries. The vineyards survived the Wine Country’s phylloxera infestation in the 1890s, but Prohibition was fatal. The winery fell into disrepair and the vineyards lay fallow for nearly eighty years. Today, the vineyards are burgeoning, the restored Hagen house is a family home again, and the winery has been reinvented."

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2016 Sterling "Iridium" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (96JS, 95RP). James Suckling: "A wonderfully focused and creamy texture to this red with blueberries, blackberries and cedar. Some chocolate. The tannin texture is superb, giving pure-silk pleasure. Such depth. Crazy packaging. Serious wine! Drink or hold as long as you like." (01/2020)

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2016 Bibi Graetz "Testamatta" Toscana Rosso (98JS, 96DC, 96RP, 92WS). James Suckling: "A very beautiful and thoughtful Testamatta with aromas of earth, terra cotta, black tea, and lavender. Full-bodied, very layered and extremely polished with superb, soft tannins. Racy and very long. Muscular and formed but very, very balanced. Gorgeous richness and depth. Shows balance and wonder. " (07/2018)
Current Bid: $130.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2007 Ramey "Annum" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (95JD, 95RP, 93ST, 93WS, 92VN). Wine Advocate: "The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Annum, containing 2% Petit Verdot, is deep ruby-black in color and offers aromas of cast iron pan, graphite, toasted cumin, star anise and old leather with dried red and black cherries, cedar, cigars, bitter chocolate and loads of red fruit and herb sparks. It's medium-bodied, silky and lush with a lovely interplay of tertiary and fruit flavors. It has a frame of cocoa powder-like tannins, retaining great freshness and finishing very, very long and layered. This is just stunning to drink right now! (EB)" (09/2019)

Of the 2018 Seven Apart "Expedition" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Wine Advocate writes: "Opaque purple-black in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Expedition explodes from the glass with vibrant notes of crème de cassis, crushed black cherries, blackberry preserves and mulberries plus suggestions of clove oil, red roses, plum preserves and sandalwood with a compelling waft of licorice. The big, rich, full-bodied, full-on pedal-to-the-metal palate is absolutely chock-full of black fruit preserves layers and a whole firework display of exotic spices, framed by rock-solid, ripe, rounded tannins and tons of freshness, finishing with epic length.

Bid on this 5-bottle tasting lot; including 2-bottles of 2008 Château Boswell "Dutton Ranch/Morelli" Russian River Valley Chardonnay (91ST), 1-bottle of 2012 Château Boswell "Dutton Ranch Rued Vineyard" Green Valley Chardonnay , and 2-bottles of 2019 Italics Coombsville Chardonnay. Of the 2008 Château Boswell "Dutton Ranch/Morelli" Russian River Valley Chardonnay, Int'l Wine Cellar writes: "Full yellow-gold color. Aromas of clove oil, minerals and honeyed oak. Suave and seamless in the mouth, with sound acidity giving the citrus and spice flavors a light touch. Finishes with a lingering note of clove." (06/2010)
Starting Bid: $160.00
Bid on this 2-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2017 Kerr "Beckstoffer Georges III" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (94JS) and 1-bottle of 2017 Larkmead "Solari" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (95JD, 95JS, 95WE, 94VN, 92RP). Of the 2017 Larkmead "Solari" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Wine Enthusiast writes: "This Cabernet Sauvignon from a low-yielding part of the estate is deeply aromatic and complex in juicy, rich layers of red and blue berries. Lean yet powerful, the tannins take on a grip that offers additional structure and firmness, with a gravelly, earthy finish. *Cellar Selection* (VB)" (12/2020)
Current Bid: $199.04
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2016 Buoncristiani "The Core" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (98RP, 93JS, 93VN). Wine Advocate: "Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon The Core leaps from the glass with gregarious scents of crushed wild blueberries, chocolate-covered black cherries, black raspberries and warm cassis with touches of candied violets, licorice, potpourri, black tea and cigar boxes. Full-bodied and packed to the gills with stacks of black fruit and floral layers, it has a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing very long and exquisitely perfumed. (LPB)" (10/2018)
Current Bid: $181.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2019 Beau-Séjour Bécot, St-Émilion (96DC, 96JS, 96WS, 95VN, 94RP, 94WE). James Suckling: "Plums, currants, pine cones, mushrooms and bark on the nose. Some licorice, too. It’s medium-bodied with tightly knit tannins. Tight and fresh with fantastic tension and drive. Refined and focused. Spicy and lightly salty at the end. " (02/2022)
Current Bid: $110.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2009 Hartwell "T5 - Barrel 3" Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon.
Starting Bid: $540.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2015 Round Pond "The Secret Garden" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon (95RP, 94VN, 93JS). Wine Advocate: "One-hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep purple-black colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Secret Garden is youthfully mute, with crushed black currants and black cherries notes with wafts of tilled soil, bay leaves, menthol and cloves. Full and concentrated in the mouth that's packed with spiced black fruits, it offers firm, fine-grained tannins and a refreshing lift on the finish. (LPB)" (12/2017)
Current Bid: $205.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2008 Harlan "The Maiden" Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (92RP, 90ST, 90WS). Wine Advocate: "The 2008 The Maiden is a beautiful wine graced with exquisite finesse in its dark red berries, flowers and licorice. Gorgeous inner perfume and a super-refined personality are some of the qualities found in the 2008 Maiden. A weightless, subtle finish rounds things out nicely. (AG)" (12/2011)
Current Bid: $560.00
Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2009 Domaine Joseph Roty Gevrey-Chambertin "La Brunelle" (90BH). Burghound: "What was a generously wooded nose has moderated somewhat and while the oak is not invisible, it no longer dominates the otherwise very fresh and pretty red Pinot fruit aromas that merge gracefully into silky, round and well-balanced flavors though the wood comes up again on the persistent finish. My rating offers the benefit of the doubt that the oak will integrate in time." (01/2012)
Starting Bid: $215.00
Bid on this 3-magnum lot of 2018 Noah Lessona (1.5L) (95VN). Vinous: The 2018 Lessona is a wild, distinctive wine that captures all the exotic beauty of Nebbiolo in this appellation. Sweet dark cherry, orange peel, cinnamon, blood orange, sage and rose petal build effortlessly as this deep, layered Lessona shows off its quality and pedigree. The purity of the flavors is just remarkable. Readers lucky enough to find the 2018 will enjoy several decades of exceptional drinking. Superb. (AG) (11/2022)
Current Bid: $195.00

Current Bid: $915.00
Bid on this 2-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 1970 Marchesi di Barolo Barolo and 1-bottle of 1971 Marchesi di Barolo Barolo. Of the 1970 Marchesi di Barolo Barolo, Marchesi di Barolo (which used to be known as Opera Pia Barolo) is one of the region's most historic wineries. Marchesi Falletti was a former proprietor of the estate in the early 1800s and is widely considered to be the creator of what is now known as Barolo. The wines made here were and continue to be Nebbiolos of great breed and complexity. Monica Larner of The Wine Advocate writes writes: "Centrally located in Barolo village, Marchesi di Barolo is a reliable producer of consistent, traditional red wines."
Starting Bid: $140.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2016 Ridge Vineyards "Monte Bello" Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon (98IWR, 98VN, 97JD, 96RP, 96W&S, 96WS, 95DC, 95JS). Vinous: "One of the highlights in this tasting, the 2016 Monte Bello has turned out just as beautifully as I hoped it would. Soaring aromatics, bright acids and mid-weight structure give the 2016 a super-classic feel. Clearly, the 2016 is very primary today, with plenty of bright red and purplish berry fruit. More than that, though, the 2016 pulses with energy and simply exceptional balance. Don't miss it! (AG)" (10/2019)
Current Bid: $330.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2013 Louis Roederer "Cristal" Brut Champagne (99DC, 98RP, 98VN, 97JG, 97JS, 96JD, 96W&S, 96WS). Decanter: "Created in 1876 to satisfy the demanding tastes of Tsar Alexander II, Louis Roederer’s Cristal has since become a symbol of luxury all around the world. Produced only during the best years, it’s made from 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, the grapes coming from 45 of the finest lieux-dits in the region. 2013 was a late bloomer, with flowering only taking place in July after a cool spring. The summer was ideal with long periods of dry and warm weather. One third of the wine is aged in oak and there’s no malolactic fermentation. Vincenzo Arnese: Packed with elegant yet powerful aromas of ripe orchard trees that merge with brioche and dry cookies. (Panel Tasting)" (12/2022)
Current Bid: $575.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2017 Scarecrow Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (OWC - 97JD, 97RP, 97VN) in original wood. Vinous: "The 2017 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon is stunning. Seamless on the palate, with remarkable depth and richness, the 2017 has so much to offer. Black cherry jam, blackberry, chocolate, licorice, spice and menthol build in a rich, sumptuous Cabernet Sauvignon that hits all the right notes. Best of all, the 2017 will drink well with only minimal cellaring. It is without question one of the wines of the vintage. (AG)" (01/2020)
Current Bid: $1,415.00
Bid on this bottle of 2009 Saxum "James Berry Vineyard" Paso Robles Rhône Blend (98RP, 97JS, 97WS, 96ST, 96VN, 94JD, 93DC). Wine Advocate: "Simply put, the 2009 James Berry Vineyard is one of the greatest young wines I have ever tasted from California, or anywhere for that matter. Bright, floral aromatics lead to expressive red fruit in this impossibly elegant, dazzling wine. A melange of rose petals, mint and licorice follows as the James Berry shows off its breathtaking clarity and finesse. Fine-grained, chalky tannins frame the exceptional finish. Frankly, I am surprised this is the first wine of the tasting. Where does one go from here? (AG)" (08/2011)
Current Bid: $110.00
Bid on this magnum of 2019 Vice Versa "Magnificent Seven" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L) (99RP, 98JD). Wine Advocate: "A 220-case selection of the best barrels (not coincidentally, all new) from each of the vineyards in the cellar, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Magnificent Seven offers up scents of brandied cherries, baking spices and a slightly lifted, floral character. It's full-bodied, plush and creamy, and while I suspect it may be just too big and hedonistic for some tasters, it's a tremendous wine, with ample concentration and a super long, velvety finish. (JC)" (10/2022)
Starting Bid: $900.00
Bid on this bottle of 1990 Produttori del Barbaresco "Rabaja" Barbaresco Riserva (94JG). John Gilman: "The 1990 Rabajà from the Produttori showed brilliantly at our tasting, and I wonder if I underrated this wine on the couple of previous occasions that I tasted it, or was a bit more smitten with its exemplary quality at this horizontal tasting, as there was no flanking bottle of the 1989 with which to draw comparisons? Whichever might be the truth, this wine was absolutely singing at this tasting, soaring from the glass in a pure and stunning constellation of black cherries, black plums, licorice, gamebirds, just a touch of road tar, forest floor and a topnote of almond. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and rock solid at the core, with modest tannins, good acids, fine focus and grip and a very long, vibrant and beautifully balanced finish. Another very fine bottle of 1990! 94+" (09/2016)
Starting Bid: $150.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2019 Ultramarine "Keefer Ranch Vineyard" Blanc de Blancs Sonoma Coast Sparkling Wine. Antonio Galloni of Vinous writes: "The setting is about as unglamorous as it gets. Michael Cruse's small but functional warehouse-like winery is located in Petaluma, next to Highway 101, but not close to much else. Don't let the stripped down setting fool you. Cruse makes a wide range of incredibly distinctive wines here. The sparkling wines are especially of note. Cruse began his foray into sparkling wines with Ultramarine, a label that focuses on single-variety, single-vintage, single-site bottlings, an aesthetic that has become increasingly popular in Champagne. At Ultramarine, the wines are done with blocked malo, aged in oak with minimal SO2 and bottled with little or no dosage. Cruse recently introduced the Tradition under his own Cruse Wine Co. label."
Starting Bid: $190.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2015 Kongsgaard "The Fimasaurus" Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (96RP, 94VN). Wine Advocate: "The Fimasauraus is of blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, selected for their very tiny berry size. Very deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 The Fimasaurus conjures notions of cassis, blackberry tart and black forest cake with touches of black loam, cedar box, tree bark and beef drippings. The structure on the full-bodied palate is very firm with a good core of lively black fruits and plenty of freshness, finishing with lingering mineral and earth hints. (LPB)" (10/2017)
Current Bid: $280.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2015 Ceritas "Peter Martin Ray" Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay (93VN). Vinous: "The 2015 Chardonnay Peter Martin Ray Vineyard presents a deeper, richer expression of the Santa Cruz Mountains than the Trout Gulch tasted alongside it. Dried apricot, dried pear, chamomile and lightly honeyed notes grace this super expressive, resonant Chardonnay. The Peter Martin Ray has very obvious raciness from its exposure, but that is balanced by the decision to pick on the earlier side. (AG)" (04/2018)
Current Bid: $110.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2013 Pahlmeyer "Pièce de Résistance" Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon (100RP, 94VN). Wine Advocate: "The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Pièce De Résistance is a selection of the five best barrels in the wine cellar, aged in 100% Taransaud cooperage. The first perfect score I’ve given to Pahlmeyer – but highly deserving – this is a masterpiece of gorgeous crème de cassis, blackberry liqueur, forest floor, camphor, charcoal and white flowers, magnificent concentration, wonderfully subtle oak, and a finish of close to a minute. In short, Cabernet Sauvignon rarely gets any better than this, but latching onto a bottle or two will not be easy. (RB)" (12/2016)
Current Bid: $700.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2016 L'Aventure "Inspiracion" Paso Robles Red Blend (94JD, 94VN, 93RP). Vinous: "Deep lurid ruby. An explosively perfumed bouquet displays ripe, mineral-accented boysenberry, cherry, licorice pastille and incense scents, and a spicy nuance gains power with air. Stains the palate with intense red and blue fruit, spicecake and candied lavender flavors that show outstanding clarity and energetic lift. Smooth, slow-building tannins add shape and grip to the finish, which hangs on with strong, floral- and mineral-driven persistence. (JR)" (09/2018)
Current Bid: $105.00
Bid on this 3-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2010 Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino (97RP, 94JS, 94WS, 92VN, 91KO) and 2-bottles of 2010 Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (98JS, 98RP, 98WS, 97IWR, 95KO, 92W&S). Of the 2010 Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, Wine Advocate writes: "The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a dark, brooding and powerful wine. It shows immediate richness and evident complexity with spice, tobacco, cured meat and dried blackberry or plum. This a gorgeous wine that is only at the beginning of a long aging evolution. This wine is absolutely impeccable on all levels. It delivers stunning intensity, power, integrity and balance. The aromatic momentum continues to grow and becomes steadily more expansive and complete as the wine takes on more air in the glass. (ML)" (05/2016)
Current Bid: $285.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2010 Abreu "Thorevilos" Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (98VN, 95RP). Vinous: "David Abreu's 2010 Thorevilos stands apart from all of the other wines in this range for its massive, inky concentration. It is also the last of these wines to be released, which may explain its intense power. A host of graphite, smoke, incense, tobacco, spice and black fruit gradually open up, but the 2010 is a wine for the future. I won't touch another bottle until at least age ten, even though that is almost certainly not going to be enough time to find the wine at its peak of expression. (AG) 98+" (06/2015)
Current Bid: $520.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2013 Hundred Acre "Few and Far Between" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (100RP). Wine Advocate: "Obviously, the Eisele Vineyard next door is a first-growth quality vineyard, and so is Jayson Woodbridge’s 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Few and Far Between. This has some Cabernet Franc (5%-15%), and spends 32 months in barrel. It is an absolutely outrageously great wine from the volcanic rocks and white volcanic ash of these soils in this northeast sector of Napa to the south of Calistoga. The finish goes on for over a minute, as this wine has layers and layers of fruit. If anything, it reminded me of a Château Latour on steroids. A magnificent example, it is one of the prodigious wines of this great vintage for Bordeaux varietals in Napa. The 2013 Few and Far Between already drinks well, but will still be reveling its purchasers 35-40 years from now. The sad thing about the Few and Far Between Vineyard is that it is only a five-acre parcel. (RP)" (10/2016)
Current Bid: $971.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2001 Joseph Phelps "Insignia" Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (98RP, 96WE, 95W&S, 93CG, 93VN). Wine Advocate: "Still a young wine at age 12, the 2001 Insignia exhibits a dense purple color along with a sweet bouquet of camphor, blackberries, cassis, incense and spring flowers. Full-bodied, rich and heady with sweet tannin, stunning concentration and a fabulous finish, this remarkable Insignia has 25 or more years of life ahead of it. (RP) 98+" (11/2013)
Current Bid: $350.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2017 Morlet "Passionnément" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon (98JD, 96RP, 95VN). Jeb Dunnuck: "While the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Passionnement doesn't match the magical 2016, it's nevertheless a gorgeous wine that will stand up to anything in the vintage and is a heavenly wine. Loads of blackcurrants, cassis, damp earth, chocolate, and green tobacco dominate the bouquet of this powerful, full-bodied, opulent wine, which offers more decadence and sweet fruit than almost every other 2017 out there. With beautiful depth of fruit, ripe, silky tannins, and a blockbuster of a finish, it needs a year or three of bottle age and will evolve for two decades or more. The Passionnement is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and is always a selection across the single vineyards." (08/2020)
Current Bid: $205.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2012 Shafer "Hillside Select" Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon (100RP, 98JS, 98WE, 97CG, 96VN, 96WS). Wine Advocate: "Shafer’s flagship wine, and one of the world’s greatest Cabernet Sauvignons, is the Hillside Select, which comes from the rocky, volcanic soils on hillsides above the winery. Vineyard production is small, and the wine an incredible example of Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in 100% new oak for 32 months and bottled unfiltered, this can generally be expected to be one of the top dozen or so Cabernet Sauvignons in virtually any vintage in Napa, and certainly possesses 25 to possibly 50 years of aging potential. The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is a perfect wine. It elicits more than a few 'wows' when you smell the incredible notes of charcoal, graphite and subtle toast, buttressed and dominated by blackcurrant, blackberry and blueberry fruit. (RP)" (10/2016)
Current Bid: $485.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2019 Spottswoode "Estate" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (100RP, 100TWI, 98DC, 98IWR, 97JD, 97WE, 96JS, 96VN). Wine Advocate: "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 89.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6.5% Cabernet Franc and 4.0% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it needs of lot of swirling to unlock the most gorgeous perfume of bright black and red cherries, fresh blueberries and blackcurrant pastilles with hints of roses, cinnamon stick and orange peel. Medium-bodied, elegant and tightly wound, the palate shimmers with SO MUCH energy, featuring layer upon layer of floral, savory and crunchy black fruit notes, finishing long and minerally. This is a remarkably poised, seemingly effortless beauty that cannot fail to make your jaw drop. Forget it in the cellar for a good 3-5 years, at least, to allow all those nuances to fully emerge and then savor it over the next 30 years+. (LPB)" (11/2021)
Current Bid: $351.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2015 Vineyard 29 "29 Estate" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (98RP, 94VN). Wine Advocate: "Very deep garnet-purple, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon 29 Estate has a wonderfully complex nose chock full of smoked meat, yeast extract, toast, sautéed herbs and savory notes over a crème de cassis and blackberry tart core with hints of violets, damp loam and black truffles. Full-bodied, concentrated and full-on opulent in the mouth, the palate is laden with savory, earth and dark fruit layers with a velvety frame and lively lift on the long finish. (LPB) 98+" (12/2017)

Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2010 Vietti "Castiglione" Barolo (94RP, 94VN, 93W&S, 92JS, 92WS). Vinous: "The 2010 Barolo Castiglione is beautiful in the way it brings together the vibrancy of the year with a soft, inviting textural presence. Freshly cut flowers, mint, sweet spices, anise and red berries are all woven together nicely in the glass. With time in the glass, the wine blossoms with exquisite finesse, floral aromatics and exquisite overall balance. Ripe, silky tannins support the exquisite finish. An insanely beautiful wine, the 2010 will give readers a good idea of just how great the 2010 vintage is at Vietti. The Barolo Castiglione is made from a large number of parcels across the Barolo zone, many of which are of a high enough level of quality that they could be bottled separately. This is first-class juice. (AG)" (01/2014)

Bid on this 3-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of Kopke Dry White Port (375 ML), 1-bottle of 2003 Graham's Vintage Port (96W&S, 96WE, 95RP, 95ST, 94WS), and 1-bottle of 2007 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port (375ml) (97JG, 96WS, 95RP, 95W&S, 95WE). Of the 2007 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port (375ml), John Gilman writes: "The 2007 Taylor-Fladgate is a beautiful synthesis of the inherent power of Taylors and uncompromising beauty of the 2007 vintage, and the combination is stunning. The refined, youthful and very complex nose offers up scents of cassis, black cherries, pepper, gentle tarry notes, woodsmoke, anise, soil and cedar. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and very light on its feet for a young Taylors, with great elegance and intensity on the attack, ripe, seamless tannins, and a huge spine of acidity that adds vibrancy to the fruit, purity to the soil expression and laser-like focus on the impeccable, long finish.

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2016 Léoville-Las Cases, St-Julien (100JA, 100JD, 100JS, 100RP, 98VN, 98WS, 97DC, 97WE). Wine Advocate: "One of the high points of this great vintage, the 2016 Léoville Las Cases is a brilliant wine that unwinds in the glass with aromas of dark berries, pencil shavings, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and violets. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's concentrated and complete, with beautifully refined tannins, vibrant acids and a long, mineral finish. Even in this series of great wines, it stands out for its cool classicism and unerring precision. Still an infant, while the 2016 is sufficiently polished to be far from forbidding, the real fireworks won't begin for another decade. (WK)" (08/2022)

Of the 2020 Corison ''Helios'' Napa Valley Cabernet Franc, John Gilman writes: "The 2020 Cabernet Franc “Sunbasket Vineyard” bottling from Cathy Corison is a lovely young wine that really shows its varietal character in this vintage, where it comes in at 13.5 percent octane. The bouquet is gorgeous, wafting from the glass in a mix of black cherries, sweet dark berries, tobacco leaf, dark soil tones, a hint of tree bark, gentle new oak and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a beautiful core of black fruit, fine soil signature, suave, fine-grained tannins, excellent balance and a long, pure and very promising finish."
