Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2020 Saxum "Heart Stone Vineyard" Paso Robles Rhône Blend (94VN, 93WS, 91JD). Vinous: "The 2020 Heart Stone Vineyard is seductive in the glass, with a blend of crushed raspberries, dried citrus peels, sweet spice and lavender. This is elegant and graceful on the palate, with a wonderful lift to its depths of tart wild berry fruit. Sour citrus and balsamic tones add further tension toward the close. The 2020 finishes structured and long with a resonance of violette candies that linger. This blend of 33% Graciano, 31% Grenache, 19% Syrah, 9% Mataro, 5% Touriga Nacional and 3% Petite Sirah is built for the cellar. (EG)" (05/2023)
Current Bid: $270.00
Bid on this 2-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)
Current Bid: $400.00
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: $575.00

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.

Bid on this 2-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2013 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Grand Cru "Les Clos" (95VN, 93BH) and 1-bottle of 2013 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Grand Cru "Les Preuses" (94ST, 94VN, 93BH). Of the 2013 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Grand Cru "Les Clos", Vinous writes: "Pale yellow. Higher-pitched on the nose than the Preuses, offering strong oyster-shell minerality lifted by lavender and violet nuances. Densely packed, tactile and suave, displaying outstanding energy and inner-mouth citrussy lift. Comes across as less violent than the Preuses, and more perfumed on the palate. Finishes with oustanding length and a magically light touch. (ST)" (08/2015)
Current Bid: $552.00
Bid on this bottle of 2018 Vice Versa "Magnificent Seven" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (99JD, 98RP). Jeb Dunnuck: "The flagship from this great estate, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Magnificent Seven is a mix of To Kalon, Dr. Crane, and Las Piedras. A more perfumed, complex wine compared to the powerful, dense Dr. Crane release, it has a stunning bouquet of crème de cassis, black raspberries, spring flowers, incense, smoked tobacco, and gravelly earth. Full-bodied, deep, and concentrated, with a chalky sense of minerality, it's flawlessly balanced, has building tannins, a great mid-palate, and a finish that won't quit." (01/2021)
Current Bid: $380.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2019 Pierre Girardin Morey St. Denis 1er Cru "Les Monts Luisants". William Kelly in Wine Advocate: "Few emerging Côte de Beaune winemakers are making more of a stir than 21-year-old Pierre Vincent Girardin. This was my first visit to his well-appointed winery and cellar in Meursault, where evidently no expense has been spared on the latest presses, fermentation tanks and larger-format barrels from Tonnellerie François Frères—all housed in a glistening modern winery. Working with some 4.5 hectares of domaine vineyards that are supplemented by an extensive array of négociant purchases, Girardin has hit the ground running with an impressively wide portfolio that includes iconic appellations such as even Montrachet and Chambertin, and he has equally rapidly found eager international representation with top importers." (02/2020)
Starting Bid: $450.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2019 Pride Mountain Napa-Sonoma Counties Cabernet Sauvignon (93VN, 91JD, 91RP). Vinous: "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Pride wine. Effusive aromatics meld into a core of dark blue/purplish fruit. Medium in body, but with terrific depth, 2019 has a lot going on. This is an especially refined vintage for the Cabernet Sauvignon. All the elements are so nicely balanced. Cedar, tobacco, licorice and dried herbs linger. (AG)" (10/2022)
Current Bid: $330.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2017 Quilceda Creek "Galitzine Vineyard" Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (98JD, 98RP). Wine Advocate: "Ever so rarely, you experience a wine that takes you on a journey. Flirting with perfection, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine Vineyard rushes out the glass like a rollercoaster, with an array of fruit, earth and oak aromas. With just enough volatility to lift you out of your seat, yet supported by a lap-bar of energetic acidity to keep it firm and tight, the wine banks into the first turn, expressing fresh, heady aromas of Chambord, cocoa nibs, baked earth and resinous purple flowers, then elements of baking spices cascade across the nose. Full-bodied and riding through a loop, the palate opens to chocolate-covered blueberries and crème de cassis, before exploding through a kaleidoscope of black and blue-fruited goodness. (AM)" (12/2020)
Current Bid: $535.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot 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)
Current Bid: $318.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2010 Rhys "Swan Terrace" Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir (95RP, 95ST, 91BH). Wine Advocate: "The 2010 Pinot Noir Swan Terrace is impeccable. Dark black cherries, plums, exotic spices and orange peel are some of the many notes that take shape in this deeply expressive, layered Pinot. The Swan Terrace is differentiated from some of the other wines in the lineup for its distinctly dark red/black tonalities. (AG)" (08/2012)
Current Bid: $130.00
Bid on this bottle of 1970 Latour, Pauillac (96JG, 94JS, 94VN). John Gilman: "Château Latour back in 1970 was still the longest-lived, most consistently excellent and backwards château to be found in all of Bordeaux. For many years after release, the 1970 Latour was one of the few examples of the vintage that was not particularly charming to drink, and it has taken a full 35 years for the wine to really blossom and begin showing its true quality. Today it is clear that the 1970 Latour is clearly one of the top three or four wines of the vintage, which has just now begun to emerge from its customary 30 years of hibernation and show itself in all its splendor. (JG) 96+ " (09/2017)
Current Bid: $436.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2016 Sinegal "Estate Reserve" St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon (99JD, 97RP, 97VN). Jeb Dunnuck: "A selection of the top terroirs on the property and a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec, and 7% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve was brought up all in new oak. Deep purple-colored, with a rocking bouquet of black fruits, espresso, graphite, and crushed rock, this borderline perfect wine has full-bodied richness, a seamless, seamless texture, plenty of tannins, and a monster finish. This is an absolutely killer Napa Cabernet! It’s already hard to resist, yet it’s capable of evolving for 2-3 decades." (01/2019)
Current Bid: $426.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2020 Domaine Thierry Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin. Composed of organically grown Pinot Noir sourced from vines averaging 20 to 70 years in age. Clusters are destemmed and spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts. Aged 16 months in a combination of oak barrels (30% new) and vats.
Current Bid: $120.00
Bid on this bottle of 2004 Sine Qua Non "Into the Dark" Central Coast Grenache (99RP, 95ST). Wine Advocate: "More up-front and open-knit, the 2004 In the Dark (Grenache) checks in as a blend of 84% Grenache, 8% Mourvèdre, 7% Syrah, and 1% Viognier that comes mostly from Manfred’s 11 Confessions Vineyard, yet includes small portions from Alban (10%) and Alta Mesa (9%) Vineyard. Reminding me of Clos Saint-Jean’s Sanctus Sanctorum with its incredible bouquet of sweet kirsch, licorice, dried baking spices, graphite and ground pepper, this beauty flows onto the palate with impeccable purity, perfect integration of its fruit, tannin and acidity, and blockbuster length. As is common with this estate’s wine, it’s the purity paired with serious richness that sets it apart. (JD)" (07/2014)
Current Bid: $360.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2014 Rafanelli Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The Rafanelli family is now in its fourth generation of growing grapes and making wine in the Dry Creek Valley. This winery is small and family operated, and the focus has always been on quality over quantity. The winery consistently produces Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon that are among the finest in Sonoma County.
Current Bid: $205.00
Bid on this 2-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2017 Kistler "Kistler Vineyard" Sonoma Valley Chardonnay (98JD, 97DC, 96VN, 95RP, 93WS) and 1-bottle of 2017 Kistler "McCrea Vineyard" Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay (96JD, 95DC, 95RP, 95VN). Of the 2017 Kistler "Kistler Vineyard" Sonoma Valley Chardonnay, Jeb Dunnuck writes: "The two standouts in the lineup include the 2017 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard, which comes from red volcanic soils and 40-year-old dry farmed vines. This magical stuff has incredible notes of white flowers, crushed rocks, salty minerality, and stone fruits. With both power and elegance, it displays bright acidity, a layered, multi-dimensional texture, and a finish that won’t quit. As with all these new releases, it shows a vibrancy and freshness paired with a concentrated, age-worthy feel. Give it 2-3 years and enjoy over the following decade." (06/2019)
Current Bid: $165.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2010 Switchback Ridge "Peterson Family Vineyard" Napa Valley Petite Sirah (94WS, 92VN). Wine Spectator: "Wonderfully expressive, with a ripe and juicy mix of blackberry, huckleberry and blueberry flavors, a mouthful of rustic tannins and notes of spice, black tea and cigar box. Balanced and dense, with tannins that firm up on the finish. (MW)" (03/2014)
Current Bid: $252.00
Bid on this 6-bottle tasting lot; including 2-bottles of 2018 Limerick Lane "Katz-Ponzo Vineyard" Russian River Valley Zinfandel and 4-bottles of 2018 Limerick Lane "Marquis" Russian River Valley Zinfandel (98JD, 96VN, 95WE, 94RP). Of the 2018 Limerick Lane "Marquis" Russian River Valley Zinfandel, Jeb Dunnuck writes: "The 2018 Zinfandel Marquis is seen as a flagship release and is a blend of the top single vineyards, with 270 cases produced. Quintessential Zinfandel notes of spiced red plums, sandalwood, orange blossom, spice, and tobacco all soar from the glass. It plays in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, showing a stacked mid-palate, sweet tannins, and beautiful opulence paired with elegance. It's another magical Zinfandel from this team to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years." (05/2020)
Current Bid: $252.00
Bid on this 3-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2016 Duckhorn Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (93DC, 92WE), 1-bottle of 2018 Duckhorn "Three Palms Vineyard" Napa Valley Merlot (96DC, 94WS), and 1-bottle of 2019 Duckhorn "Three Palms Vineyard" Napa Valley Merlot (95JS, 94WS). Of the 2018 Duckhorn "Three Palms Vineyard" Napa Valley Merlot, Decanter writes: "Opened for 45 minutes before tasting. From the iconic Three Palms Vineyard, which delivers structured, elegant and long-lived Merlot. This vintage has 89%, plus 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% each of Petit Verdot and Malbec, aged 18 months in 75% new French oak. Resonant and explosive"
Current Bid: $196.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2010 Saxum "James Berry Vineyard" Paso Robles Rhône Blend (97JD, 96RP, 96VN, 94ST, 94WS). Jeb Dunnuck: "Sporting a vibrant ruby, semi-opaque color, the 2010 Saxum James Berry Vineyard is the most tight, backwards version of this cuvee that I can recall. A blend of 52% Grenache, 26% Mourvedre, and 22% Syrah, it has a decidedly savory bouquet of blackberry liqueur, kirsch, violets, bouquet garni, ground pepper, and graphite. Full-bodied and layered on the palate, with brilliant mid-palate concentration, superb freshness, and masses of tannin, this brilliant Rhône blend from Paso Robles will stand toe to toe with the best wines out there, but it is not for those seeking instant gratification and will require 4-5 years of bottle age. In 2010, the Grenache component was aged in a combination of concrete tank and oak puncheons, and this change shows in both the aromatics and texture, with less obvious sweetness and more freshness." (12/2012)
Current Bid: $203.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2018 Occidental "Cuvée Catherine - Running Fence Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir (100RP, 99JD, 98VN). Wine Advocate: "I revisited the 2018 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine again and again and just could not get enough of this expressive, singular wine. Medium ruby in the glass, aromas of iron and blood orange segue to pure blackberry and raspberry preserves, tea leaves, dusty earth and garrigue. Silky, pure, detailed and seamless, it articulates that perfect balance of bitter and sweet found in great amaro—and great Pinot Noir. It has an intense, fresh and lacy frame of tannins that will allow it to age a long time. (EB)" (06/2021)
Current Bid: $570.00
Bid on this 3-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2014 Paolo Scavino "Cannubi" Barolo (96JS, 94RP, 93WS), 1-bottle of 2015 Paolo Scavino "Cannubi" Barolo (98JS, 94RP, 94VN), and 1-bottle of 2016 Paolo Scavino "Cannubi" Barolo (99WE, 97RP). Of the 2016 Paolo Scavino "Cannubi" Barolo, Wine Enthusiast writes: "Paolo Scavino 2016 Cannubi (Barolo). Perfumed berry, fragrant purple flowers, chopped mint and baking spice are just some of the aromas you’ll find on this drop-dead gorgeous wine. Impeccably balanced, structured, and loaded with finesse, it boasts a smooth texture, doling out juicy Marasca cherry, raspberry compote, licorice and white pepper alongside a backbone of polished tannins and fresh acidity. *Cellar Selection* (KO)" (08/2020)
Current Bid: $202.00
Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2018 Domaine Albert Grivault Meursault 1er Cru "Clos des Perrieres". Jancis Robinson: " Cooked butter giving the very old-fashioned Meursault aromas. Full body, ripe fruit with a touch of apricot and cream. Just a touch of bruised-apple oxidation on the finish. (RH)" (11/2023)
Current Bid: $500.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2011 Pier 24 Photography (TNVR) Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend. The Napa Valley Reserve is a private club with its own 80-acre estate including a vineyard and winery. The property was developed by Bill Harlan who also owns the Meadowood resort and several cult brands (Harlan, Bond, Promontory). Members are offered the opportunity to participate in the winemaking process, including winemaking, blending, and bottling. These wines are a unique expression of a passionate group of wine lovers, guided by one of Napa’s great luminary producers.
Starting Bid: $525.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2013 Williams Selyem "Luella's Garden Estate Vineyard" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. This Pinot Noir was a winery-only offering and is very limited in quantity. From a block located on southeast corner of the Williams Selyem estate, it's named for Luella Litton, the original owner of the property. The vineyard is planted to the Calera clone, which tends to producer intensely flavored fruit.
Current Bid: $290.00
Bid on this 6-bottle Ridge Vineyards "Monte Bello" Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2006 (95VN, 94DC, 94JD), 1-bottle of 2007 (97JS, 95JG, 95RP), 1-bottle of 2008 (95DC, 95RP, 95VN), 1-bottle of 2009 (98JS, 96ST, 96VN), 1-bottle of 2010 (98WS, 97JS, 96RP), and 1-bottle of 2011 (96W&S, 94JS, 93VN). Of the 2009 "Monte Bello", James Suckling writes: "Tasting this amazing Californian red is like staring into a deep abyss. The notes of graphite, soy sauce and old balsamic vinegar are underlined by remarkably youthful blackcurrant fruit. On the palate there’s a wonderful combination of great concentration, creamy ripeness and incredible structure. Very long, firm finish with intense, chalky minerality. A cuvee of 72% cabernet sauvignon, 22% merlot and 4% petit verdot." (01/2023)
Current Bid: $1,152.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2014 Pride Mountain Sonoma/Napa Counties Cabernet Franc (93RP, 93WE, 92JD). Wine Advocate: "The 2014 Cabernet Franc, which sees 18 months in 40% new French oak, is actually a blend of 80.5% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Deep opaque purple in color, with notes of spring flowers, black raspberries and blueberries, the wine hits the palate with more florest floor and floral notes, a continuation of the blue and red fruit flavor spectrum, some nice spice, and finely tuned sweet tannin. This medium to full-bodied beauty should drink nicely for 10-15+ years. (RP)" (10/2016)
Current Bid: $275.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2013 Scarecrow Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (100RP, 97VN). Wine Advocate: "The prodigious 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, including fruit from some of the oldest Cabernet vines still in existence in Napa. This full-bodied classic displays notes of forest floor, earth, crème de cassis, blackberry liqueur, licorice and some pen ink. It is dense, full-bodied, prodigiously rich, massive in intensity, yet relatively light on its feet. This great ballerina of a wine has extraordinary ripeness but pulls back from the edge before going over the top. There are 1, 000 cases of this classic, which should age effortlessly for 30+ years. (RP)" (12/2015)
Current Bid: $1,650.00
Bid on this bottle of 1990 DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru (96VN, 95RP, 94JG, 92BH). Vinous: "The 1990 Romanée St. Vivant was the best of these three wines from Domaine de la Romanée Conti. It showed great mid-palate intensity in the juicy, generous style of the year. (AG)" (07/2010)
Current Bid: $3,100.00
Bid on this bottle of 2019 Aubert "Park Avenue" Sonoma Coast Chardonnay ((97-100RP), 97JS, (93-95VN), 95WS). Wine Advocate: "Park Avenue is a brand new, single-vineyard label for Aubert. This site was purchased by Mark Aubert in 2013. It had previously been an apple orchard but has since been planted to mostly Hyde Clone Chardonnay with a little Montrachet clone. It is located on the Sonoma Coast, conveniently situated right in between Aubert's Lauren and CIX vineyards. The vineyard has a long road leading up to the property, hence the name "Park Avenue." Note that the previous two vintages from this vineyard were declassified into the AVA wine. A barrel sample, the 2019 Chardonnay Park Avenue leaps out of the glass with provocative notes of white peaches, fresh pears, lemon curd and chalk dust plus spicy hints of coriander seed, nutmeg and white pepper. (LPB)" (01/2021)
Current Bid: $96.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2014 Colgin "Cariad" Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (OWC - 98JS, 97VN, 96RP, 96WS) in original wood. James Suckling: "The aromas of iodine, oyster shells and mushrooms turn to blackberries. Full body, polished tannins and a plush, velvety texture. Gorgeous length and tension. Aftertaste turns to leaves, forest floor and blackberries. Salty and savory. Wow." (01/2017)
Current Bid: $2,000.00
Bid on this 2-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2008 Joseph Phelps "Backus" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon (97VN, (94-96RP), 94WS, 93ST, 93WE) and 1-bottle of 2017 Joseph Phelps "Backus" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon (96JD, 96RP, 95JS, 95WS, 94VN). Of the 2008 Joseph Phelps "Backus" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, Vinous writes: "The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Backus is a beautifully delineated wine endowed with tons of personality and sheer class. The wine comes alive in the glass, with crushed rose petals, dark raspberry jam, licorice and spices. There is an exotic element to the fruit that is highly appealing. Today the tannins are quite firm, suggesting the wine needs at least a few more years in the cellar. (AG)" (12/2011)
Current Bid: $310.00
Bid on this magnum of 2003 Sine Qua Non "Omega - Shea Vineyard" Willamette Valley Pinot Noir (1.5L) (93RP, 91ST). Wine Advocate: "The top-notch 2003 Pinot Noir Omega Shea Vineyard offers up beautiful aromatics of raspberries, plums, blueberries, and flowers. This deeply fruity, medium to full-bodied Pinot boasts tremendous opulence, a sweet mid-palate, admirable purity, and a seamless finish. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. After 2003, Elaine and Manfred Krankl will no longer produce a Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir due to the logistical problems of moving fruit from Oregon to their winery in Ventura. (RP)" (08/2006)
Current Bid: $456.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2010 Harlan Estate Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (OWC - 100JS, 100VN, 98RP, 96WS, 95DC) in original wood. Vinous: "The 2010 Harlan Estate is a total head-turner. Powerful, dense and exotically ripe – as so many wines are in this vintage – the 2010 dazzles with magnificent intensity. Baritone inflections run through the black cherry, graphite, smoke, tar and licorice flavors. Heat spikes at the end of what was generally a cold growing season yielded wines that bring together structure and fruit density. (AG)" (09/2017)
Starting Bid: $4,620.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2010 Shafer "Hillside Select" Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon (OWC - 100JD, 100RP, 98JS, 97VN, 95WE, 95WS) in original wood. Wine Advocate: "A remarkable wine, the 2010 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select has gone from strength to strength since it was in cask. It is stunningly rich, with classic, fragrant notes of blackcurrants, blackberries, vanilla, graphite and spring flowers. It exhibits an opaque purple color, with a full-bodied, massive mouthfeel, but no heaviness, and again, a flawless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood. It’s classic California Cabernet, but beautifully put together, showing impeccable craftsmanship and fabulous potential. This is obviously a very young, infantile style of Cabernet that won’t hit its prime for at least another decade and last close to half a century, based on how older vintages that were less well-endowed have matured from Shafer. (RP)" (12/2014)
Current Bid: $1,700.00
Bid on this 3 liter of 2020 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe "La Crau" Châteauneuf-du-Pape (3L) (OWC - 97JS, 96DC, (93-95RP), 94JD, 94VN, 94WS) in original wood. James Suckling: "This amazing Chateauneuf-du-Pape squares the circle of southern richness and spring-like freshness in spite of coming from a very warm and dry vintage. The stony minerality, saltiness and dried flower character wind together to form a dynamic whole, driving this gracefully across the palate. But I must also mention the savory and licorice richness that is so deftly wrapped around them. Very long, salty and velvety finish. Drink or hold." (04/2023)
Current Bid: $295.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2010 Maison Ilan Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru "Les Chaffots" ((90-93BH), 92JG). Burghound: "This is also reduced though the underlying aromas seem distinctly riper as do the structural elements shaping the cool, intense and mineral-inflected flavors that possess really lovely detail on the well-delineated finish that displays excellent complexity as well as fine length. This is much further along in its evolution compared to the Monts Luisants though based on the quality of the respective underlying material, this appears to easily be the better of the two. *Outstanding* " (01/2012)
Current Bid: $206.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2019 Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru (96JG, 92BH). John Gilman: "The 2019 Mazis-Chambertin from Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy is a stellar example of the vintage. The deep and classic bouquet offers up a refined blend of cassis, black plums, black cherries, smoked meats, espresso, a beautiful base of black minerality, woodsmoke and cedary new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, structured and sappy at the core, with superb mineral drive and grip, ripe, buried tannins, impeccable balance and a long, focused and complex finish. Great juice." (02/2022)
Current Bid: $625.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2012 Sloan Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (OWC - 97RP, 97VN) in original wood. Vinous: "The 2012 Sloan is dark, sensual and voluptuous to the core. Soft edges and radiant, luxurious fruit add to the wine's undeniably raciness. Absolutely impeccable, the 2012 Sloan is also a fabulous example of the year at its best. (AG)" (12/2016)
Current Bid: $1,560.00
Bid on this 3-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2017 Saxum "Broken Stones" Paso Robles Red Blend (97JD, 97VN, 94RP, 93WS), 1-bottle of 2018 Saxum "Broken Stones" Paso Robles Rhône Blend (98JD, 98VN, 95RP), and 1-bottle of 2019 Saxum "Broken Stones" Paso Robles Rhône Blend (99JD, 97JS, 97VN, 97WS, 96RP). Of the 2019 Saxum "Broken Stones" Paso Robles Rhône Blend, Jeb Dunnuck writes: "The more Syrah-dominated 2019 Broken Stones (60% Syrah, 20% Graciano, 11% Mourvèdre, and the rest Grenache and Carignan) sports a deep purple hue as well as incredible black fruits and notes of ground pepper, smoked game, scorched earth, and truffle."

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2019 Schiavenza "Perno" Barolo (94JS, 94VN). Vinous: "The 2019 Barolo Perno is a fine example of this site. It offers up crushed flowers, mint, cinnamon, licorice, dried herbs, menthol and dark-fleshed fruit, conveying intensity but also a feeling of weightless power that is quite a contrast to the more overt richness found in the Serralunga Barolos that form the core of this lineup.

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2021 Domaine Joseph Colin Puligny-Montrachet "Le Trezin". Burghound: "An overtly floral-suffused nose, especially lilac, displays additional notes of greenapple and smoky mineral reduction. The energetic medium weight flavors flash excellent minerality on the delineated, sappyand lingering finish. This is usually one of my favorite wines chez Joseph Colin but in 2021 it lacks depth, indeed it’s presentlysomewhat one-dimensional. Aging should help of course but it’s not clear this will ever be truly distinguished for its level." (06/2023)

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2021 Maison Joseph Drouhin Meursault. Allen Meadows writes: "As is usually the case, I met with Véronique Drouhin who described 2021 as 'a vintage of compromise where we had to make a sort of calculus between having the best maturities while trying to preserve some reasonable volumes. This is because we already began the season in a difficult position due to the frost and then the wet and mostly cool conditions contributed to some of the worst disease pressure that we've seen since 2013 and 2016 combined! To say it was a challenging growing season would be a considerable understatement...However, I wish to stress that they were extremely varied, ranging from almost normal to literally nothing. We vinified lightly using some whole clusters for most wines and then did a careful pressing followed by an equally careful lees settling to be sure to eliminate anything that wasn't of the very best quality.'"

Bid on this bottle of 1981 Jordan Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Jordan Vineyard and Winery is based in Healdsburg in the Alexander Valley of Sonoma County. It was founded in 1972 and in the early 1980s made just two wines: a Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley and a Chardonnay from Russian River. From start to finish, this expression of Jordan Estate Alexander Valley fruit clearly displays characteristics of a slowly and carefully aged wine. Recent tasting notes from the winery (10/2013): "The 1981 now shows aromatics of dried black cherry, plums and raisins accompanied by savory notes of dried herbs, olive and tobacco. The 750mL is slightly shy on the mid-palate and finish at this point in its life. Refusing to give up its youth, 1981 large-format bottles are pensive, persistent and can be appreciated by all wine lovers."

Bid on this bottle of 1990 Mommessin Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru "Lavaux St. Jacques" . Mommessin is now part of the Boisset Collection of domaines, but has a long history in Burgundy. According to the winery: "Founded in 1865, Mommessin has been bringing the world excellent wines from Beaujolais and Burgundy since it began exporting in 1890. Through our own properties as well as long-term contracts with growers, some over 100 years old, we are able to consistently bring you exceptional wines of quality. The story behind the key: in 1889, Mommessin acquired La Grange Saint-Pierre, several ancient stone buildings in Mâcon that originally belonged to the Abbey of Cluny. The abbey’s emblem, the Key of Saint Peter, became an enduring symbol at the Mommessin winery, one that can be seen today on all our Mommessin wines."

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2021 Dominique Lafon Volnay. Vinous: "The 2021 Volnay Village which includes fruit from Les Lurets and underwent a year long malo, has a simple raspberry and dark cherry nose that just needs a little more amplitude. The palate offers sappy red berries and is quite peppery in style with a bit of sinew on the finish. (NM)" (11/2022)

Bid on this bottle of 1979 Robert Mondavi "Reserve" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. 94 points Richard Jennings in RJonWine.com: "Bricking dark red violet color; eucalyptus, menthol, cassis nose; tasty, rich but balanced, maturing but still quite youthful, cassis, eucalyptus palate with firm sweet tannins; medium-plus finish. 88.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5.5% Merlot, 5.6% Cabernet Franc; 59% from To-Kalon Vineyard; 24 months in French barriques, 87% new; alcohol 12.9%.

Bid on this bottle of 2017 Thomas Dundee Hills Pinot Noir. The Pinot Noirs of John Thomas are among the most difficult to find in Oregon. He first planted the vineyard himself in 1984, and after many years of production, the modest 400-case annual production is still a boutique, winemaking wonder.

Bid on this bottle of 2023 Realm "Fidelio - Farella Vineyard" Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. This Silverado Trail winery has developed a cult following of those who appreciate the finest in Bordeaux-style Napa Valley wines. Antonio Galloni writes about Realm for Vinous: "Over the least few years, the wines seem to have gained in precision, which is clearly a huge positive. One of the recent developments has been longer aging on the lees and fewer rackings, an approach designed to maintain as much freshness as possible." (8/2021). The winery describes this wine as: "a white wine for red wine lovers, Fidelio is the only white wine in Realm’s portfolio. The Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from two iconic vineyards, Farella, our cool-climate Estate vineyard in the Coombsville AVA, and Gamble Family Vineyard in Yountville. Sourcing from both a cool and warmer site imbues the wine with a broad range of fruit characteristics, and multiple picks adds to the spectrum of flavors and textures."
