Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2017 Tor Kenward Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon (92RP, 91VN). Wine Advocate: "This is the first time TOR has made a barrel selection from their Oakville vineyards, predominantly Tierra Roja in Oakville East. It is composed of barrels selected to reveal the "red-fruited, softer, juicier side of the Tierra Roja vineyard". Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon comes sashaying out of the glass with open-knit notes of warm red and black plums, kirsch and cassis with wafts of bay leaves, tar, underbrush and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, the palate has bold freshness and a firm frame of chewy tannins with a core of evocative, crunchy red and black fruits, finishing long and earthy. (LPB) 92+" (10/2019)
Current Bid: $240.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2016 Pavie-Macquin, St-Émilion (OWC - 98IWR, 98JA, 98JD, 97JS, 97TWI, 97VN, 96RP, 96WE, 95DC, 95WS) in original wood. Jeb Dunnuck: "This deep, inky-colored effort boasts a rock star bouquet of blackcurrants, black cherries, white truffle, graphite, and spice. Deep, rich, and powerful on the palate, yet also balanced, elegant, and seamless, with ultra-fine tannins, this seamless beauty needs a decade of cellaring and will keep for 4-5 decades. (JD) 98+ " (02/2019)
Current Bid: $531.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2008 Léoville-Barton, St-Julien (96WE, 94JS, 93ST, 93VN, 92DC, 92JD, 92RP, 91WS). Wine Enthusiast: "A dense, beautifully structured wine. It shows intense, ripe fruit with balanced acidity. It’s the fine tannins that give it such class, surrounding the fruit, promising long aging. This is a classic for Léoville-Barton. *Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2011* (RV)" (04/2011)
Current Bid: $245.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2022 Domaine Jean Foillard "Cuvée Corcelette" Morgon (92VN). Vinous: "The 2022 Morgon Cuvée Corcelette has a crisp and delineated bouquet brimming with energy. Lively red fruit seems to leap from the glass. The palate is beautifully built, svelte tannins matched with a silver bead of acidity, very harmonious with a lightly spiced and persistent finish. This has a bit of Liam-Gallagher-like swagger about it—nothing wrong with that in my book. (NM)" (04/2024)
Current Bid: $180.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2017 Rhys "Swan Terrace - Alpine Vineyard" Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir (95VN, 94BH, 94JD, 94JG, 92RP). Vinous: "The 2017 Pinot Noir Swan Terrace is one of the most intriguing wines in this range. Intensely aromatic overtones, with touches of blood orange and racy red berry fruit infuse the 2017 with an exotic quality that is hard to fully describe with words. The 100% whole clusters work so well in bringing out the wine's myriad layers. A few years in bottle will help the tannins soften. This is such a beguiling, alluring wine. (AG) 95+" (10/2019)
Current Bid: $125.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1982 Léoville-Las-Cases, St-Julien (99JD, 98DC, 97RP, 96JA, 95WS). Jeb Dunnuck: "Tasted at the domaine, the 1982 Leoville Las Cases is just about pure perfection, and while certainly mature, it has plenty of life ahead of it. Thrilling notes of blackcurrants, kirsch, tobacco leaf, cedar box, menthol, and exotic spices all emerge from this seamless, powerful yet magically elegant Léoville Las Cases. Opening up in the glass, with a smoky, singular character, it's an incredible wine from this terroir that has an almost Latour-like regal quality." (06/2019)
Starting Bid: $720.00
Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 1981 Climens, Barsac. Jancis Robinson: "Neutral nose. Lots of creamy sweetness. A good bottle! Barsac freshness. Some astringency on the finish. Just drying out a teensy bit on the finish. But good length. A good vintage for Sauternes. 18/20 points." (10/2010)
Starting Bid: $200.00
Bid on this 5-bottle lot of 1983 Cantemerle, Haut-Médoc (94JG). John Gilman: "This most recent bottle was utterly classic and even better than the bottle I reported on a while back on my feature on the 1983 vintage, as it wafts from the glass in a fine blend of sweet cassis and dark berries, incipient notes of black truffles, dark soil tones, cigar ash, a touch of roasted game and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very vibrant, with a sappy core of black fruit, excellent soil signature, just a touch of remaining tannin and outstanding length and grip on the focused and complex finish. A tour de force. (JG) 94+" (07/2014)
Current Bid: $275.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2016 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (96RP, 95JS, 95WE, 95WS, 94DC, 94VN). Wine Advocate: "The Altesino 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva holds tight to its unique character and power. The classic 2016 vintage produced generous wines that are layered and rich but also coiled tightly at their core. This wine exemplifies this point, adding lots of tart Sangiovese fruit and freshness along the way. It also shows an impressive richness of flavors with dried cherry, licorice, pressed violets, balsam herb and dusty limestone. The caveat with this wine, should you decide to drink it early, is that it needs extra time to open (and a double decanting would also help). This 10, 000-bottle production opens beautifully in time. (ML) 96+" (02/2022)
Current Bid: $430.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 1982 Lynch-Bages, Pauillac (95JS, 95VN, 94RP, 94WS, 93DC). Vinous: "I tasted the 1982 Lynch-Bages twice within a month, both at a private dinner in London and at the château, from bottle and double-magnum on separate occasions. Both vindicate an exceptionally fine 1982, perhaps a bit overlooked in a vintage full of stars. Curiously, the bottle in Bordeaux does not fully deliver the mesmerizing freshness and energy compared to the bottle in London: pencil-lead-tinged black fruit intermixed with clove and freshly-rolled tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, perhaps just a little austere compared to its peers. Yet, indeed, the bottle in London exudes class and composure with a detailed, mineral-driven vintage belying that year's unseasonably warm period. Superb. (NM)" (07/2023)
Starting Bid: $675.00
Bid on this bottle of 1975 d'Yquem, Sauternes (99RP, 98VN, 96DC, 96JG). Wine Advocate: "Deep gold in color, the 1975 d'Yquem gives up initial notes of cashew butter, manuka honey, dried apricots, musk perfume and fallen leaves over a core of spice cake, applesauce, fungi and lemongrass. The palate is laden with bright, vibrant stone fruit and preserved citrus fruit flavors, laced with honey-nut accents and finishing provocatively earthy. While intense and hedonically satisfying, this beguiling vintage has so many nuances emerging as it unfurls, it stops you in your tracks. Make sure it is the very last wine of the evening, because once you taste this, everything else will pale into insignificance. Although this wine is currently well within its ideal drinking window, there's certainly no rush to drink well-preserved bottles. (LPB)" (08/2019)
Current Bid: $1,250.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2019 Ultramarine "Hirsch Vineyard" Rosé Sonoma Coast Sparkling Wine (96VN). Vinous: "The 2019 Rosé Hirsch Vineyard is a fabulous, wonderfully complex, dynamic wine. I don’t know how it will age, but most bottles will be long gone before that is an issue. The Hirsch Rosé, done as a light saignée, hails from Raschen Ridge, one of the best sections of the vineyard and also the source of some of the very best fruit on the entire ranch. Wild, dynamic and super-expressive, the 2019 is so beguiling. The aromatics alone are wild. Those qualities follow through to the palate. Game, dried herbs and a whole range of savory notes emerge with air. There is so much going on here. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. (AG)" (01/2025)
Current Bid: $215.00
Bid on this 10-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2019 Ridge Vineyards "Boatman" Alexander Valley Zinfandel (92VN, 91W&S, 91WS), 1-bottle of 2019 Ridge Vineyards "Botticelli Vineyard" Rockpile Zinfandel (93JD, 91VN), 1-bottle of 2019 Ridge Vineyards "Corralitos - Gali Vineyard" Santa Cruz County Pinot Noir, 1-bottle of 2019 Ridge Vineyards "Gonsalves" Contra Costa County Carignane, 2-bottles of 2019 Ridge Vineyards "Gonsalves" Contra Costa County Mataro (92VN), 2-bottles of 2019 Ridge Vineyards "Lytton Estate" Dry Creek Valley Syrah/Grenache/Mataro (94WE, 93VN, 91W&S), and 2-bottles of 2019 Ridge Vineyards "Mazzoni Home Ranch" Sonoma County Zinfandel (95WE).
Current Bid: $240.00
Bid on this bottle of 1995 M. Chapoutier "La Bernadine" Chateauneuf du Pape (91RP). 91 points Robert Parker: "The 1995 Chateauneuf du Pape La Bernadine is a delicious, open-knit, forward wine. The deep ruby color with purple hues is accompanied by a sweet nose of black raspberries, blackberries, cassis, prune, and cherries. The wine is full-bodied, with sweet, lush fruit, moderate tannin, and fine density and power. It can be drunk now, but should be at its peak of maturity between 2002-2012." (10/97)
Current Bid: $42.00
Bid on this bottle of 2017 Opus One Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (96DC, 96IWR, 95JS, 95RP, 95VN, 93WS). Decanter: "A fist of late summer cherries, raspberry and bilberry fruits set out their stall, all with the juicy character that confirms, even in a hot vintage like 2017, Opus can deliver balance and sculpted elegance. Beautiful grip, creamy texture with a strikingly powerful tannic frame. As the wine stays in the glass the floral aromatics begin to bloom up. A brilliant Opus. 20 days maceration - around half what it would have been a decade ago. 54% native yeast, as part of their native yeast project. 5% Merlot and 1% Malbec complete the blend. Harvest spread out over September 5 to October 8, just before the fires, by which time they had less than 10% of the fruit still out on the vines. (JA)" (08/2020)
Current Bid: $290.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2015 Einaudi "Bussia" Barolo (94KO, 94RP, 94VN, 93JS, 93WS, 92DC). Vinous: "Here in its first vintage, the 2015 Barolo Bussia is positively stellar. The natural richness of the year seems especially well-suited to the house style. Black cherry, spice, leather, smoke and licorice all run through this ample, full-bodied Barolo. Readers should expect a muscular, virile style. (AG)" (02/2019)
Starting Bid: $300.00
Bid on this magnum of 2010 Château Montelena "Estate" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L) (95VN, 94RP, 93JS, 91WS). Vinous: "Bright red-ruby. Exceptional aromatic purity and complexity to the aromas of blueberry, cassis, cocoa powder, mocha, spices and minerals; some very ripe berry pie notes emerged with air. Wonderfully creamy, silky and deep; an utterly seamless wine with the underlying soil-driven minerality to energize and frame its fleshy flavors of dark fruits and spices. This is yet another 2010 whose impression of refinement belies the weather extremes of the growing season. Finishes with building but perfectly integrated tannins and outstanding length. (ST)" (05/2020)
Current Bid: $187.50
Current Bid: $100.00
Bid on this bottle of 2004 Domaine Weinbach "Cuvée Laurence" Gewürztraminer Alsace (90RP). Wine Advocate: "Dramatically different from its 2005 counterpart, the 2004 Gewurztraminer Cuvee Laurence is scented with celery seed, citrus rind, rose petals, and narcissus. Lacking the richness of the 2005, it partly makes up for this in sheer juiciness of fruit, and elegant length, remarkably refreshing for its grape of origin not to mention for a wine of considerable sweetness. (DS)" (02/2008)
Current Bid: $32.00
Bid on this bottle of 1997 Clarendon Hills "Liandra Vineyard" Shiraz McLaren Vale South Australia (92RP). Wine Advocate: "The 1997 Shiraz Liandra (14.5% natural alcohol) is a blend of the Clarendon and Kangarilla vineyards. It has an opaque purple color, as well as black cherry and blackberry-scented aromatics with tarry pepper notes. The wine is enormous, with extraordinary fatness and succulence, an unctuous texture, as well as a long, 35-second finish. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. This wine is a crowd-pleasing, exotic offering that takes the level of richness and hedonism to sensational heights. This wine is worth trying if only because of its compelling purity, opulence, and explosive richness. (RP)" (02/2002)
Current Bid: $31.00
Bid on this 5-bottle lot of 2018 Domaine Eden Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay (93W&S, 93WE, 92VN, 90JD). Wine Enthusiast: "Toasty wood aromas meet with lemon oil and concentrated honeysuckle on the nose of this affordable sister to Mount Eden. There is a firm grip to the palate, where those citrus and wood flavors converge alongside salted sunflower seeds and cashew. (MK)" (11/2021)
Starting Bid: $175.00
Bid on this bottle of 2011 DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru (96DC, 96VN, 95JM, 94JG, 94RP, 94ST, 93BH). Vinous: "A wine of pure silkiness, finesse and lyric beauty, the 2011 Romanée St.-Vivant graces the palate with dried rose petals, mint, violets and bright red berries, all supported by super-polished, crystalline tannins. Cool veins of underlying minerality support the precise, articulate finish. The 2011 is an introspective Burgundy built for the cellar, but it is drop-dead gorgeous. (AG)" (03/2014)
Current Bid: $2,145.00
Bid on this bottle of 2016 Bryant Family Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (100RP, 99JS, 99VN, 98DC, 98JD). Wine Advocate: "Composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon entirely from the Pritchard Hill estate and aged in 90% new oak, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple colored and has a disarmingly profound red roses and red and black currant nose with wild blueberries and yeast extract accents plus tapenade, tilled soil, subtle exotic spices and pencil shavings and the faintest waft of lavender. The palate is ethereal in its weight with a medium to full-body supported by firm yet perfectly ripe, grainy tannins structuring the tightly wound savory layers and leading to a very long, fragrant earth finish. So poised, so classy, so Bryant. (LPB)" (10/2018)
Current Bid: $435.00
Bid on this bottle of 2016 Bond "Vecina" Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (100RP, 99JD, 99JS, 97VN, 96WS). Wine Advocate: "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Vecina slips sensuously out of the glass with gorgeous black cherries, kirsch, wild blueberries and blackcurrant pastilles notes plus suggestions of bouquet garni, pencil lead, tilled earth and underbrush. Full-bodied, taut and packed with ripe, expressive, exquisitely accented black and blue fruits, it has loads of earthy sparks and a compelling fine-grained nature to the firm texture, finishing long and layered. This bright, energetic, incredibly nuanced beauty is built like a brick house and, while approachable in youth, is easily a 50-year wine. (LPB)" (09/2019)
Current Bid: $421.00
Bid on this 3-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 1977 Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Port, 1-bottle of 1985 Graham's Vintage Port (97DC, 96RP, 96WS, 94JS), and 1-bottle of 1987 Churchill "Quinta da Agua Alta" Vintage Port. Of the 1985 Graham's Vintage Port, Decanter writes: "Probably the best wine from a good, ripe though rather variable vintage: still deep at the centre with a thin tawny rim; lovely ripe plummy aromas, open but still brooding with more to reveal; ripe and fleshy on the palate with glorious plum and cherry fruit backed by firm ripe tannins leading to a powerful finish. Ready to drink now and will keep and develop in bottle for another thirty years at least! (RM)" (09/2021)
Current Bid: $234.00
Bid on this bottle of 2005 Dalla Valle "Maya" Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (96RP, 94WS, 93VN). Wine Advocate: "The 2005 Proprietary Maya, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, is one of the first wines in Napa to showcase the brilliance of Cabernet Franc grown in selected microclimates. (I recall the 1971 Robert Mondavi Reserve, which had healthy doses of Cabernet Franc and first raised the potential of this grape in Napa.) Many vintages of Maya have had much more Cabernet Franc than this particular one, but the 2005 Maya has a beautiful, dense ruby/purple color, a youthful, but extremely promising bouquet of forest floor, spring flora, blueberry, raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, medium to full body (14.5% alcohol), an almost skyscraper texture, and a long, long finish of close to 40+ seconds. This is a stunner that is still remarkably youthful at age ten. This has turned out to be one of the superstars of a very impressive vintage.(RP)" (06/2015)
Current Bid: $252.00
Bid on this bottle of 1990 Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac (98DC, 96RP, 96VN, 95JA, 95WS). Decanter: "The drive, power and poise of Bordeaux blending at its best. A glorious, seamless meld of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 36% Merlot, brings power and toned muscle to the big, rich body that fills out a plush mid-palate, with all the elements comfortably integrated and striking perfect balance between vivacious energy and a luxurious texture. Gorgeous drinking right now. (DS)" (04/2024)
Current Bid: $590.00
Bid on this bottle of 2009 Smith Haut Lafitte Rouge, Pessac-Léognan (100JD, 100RP, 98DC, 97JA, 96JS, 96WS). Wine Advocate: "The finest wine ever made by proprietors Daniel and Florence Cathiard, the 2009 Smith-Haut-Lafitte exhibits an opaque blue/purple color in addition to a glorious nose of acacia flowers, licorice, charcoal, blueberries, black raspberries, lead pencil shavings and incense. This massive, extraordinarily rich, unctuously textured wine may be the most concentrated effort produced to date, although the 2000, 2005 and 2010 are nearly as prodigious. A gorgeous expression of Pessac-Leognan with sweet tannin, emerging charm and delicacy, and considerable power, depth, richness and authority, it should age effortlessly for 30-40+ years. Bravo! (RP)" (02/2012)
Current Bid: $225.00
Bid on this 2-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 1988 Laurel Glen Sonoma Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (90JG, 90RP) and 1-bottle of 1993 Laurel Glen "Counterpoint" Cabernet Sauvignon. Of the 1988 Laurel Glen Sonoma Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, Wine Advocate writes: "The 1988 is one of the leading candidates for "Cabernet of the Vintage". Dark ruby/purple, with a moderately intense, licorice, herb, and cassis-scented bouquet, this opulently styled, full-bodied, intense Cabernet Sauvignon coats the palate with viscous, rich flavors, and has a finish that must last for nearly 40 seconds. Laurel Glen made a strict selection in 1988, and the commitment to excellence by proprietor Patrick Campbell is evident in this generously constituted, impressive, albeit expensive Cabernet." (10/1993)
Starting Bid: $55.00
Bid on this bottle of 2007 Hundred Acre "Kayli Morgan" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (100RP). Wine Advocate: "A profound wine from a superb Napa vintage for Bordeaux varietals, the 2007’s nose may cause one to overdose on blue, black and red berry fruit. The extraordinary intensity, purity and depth in this rich, flamboyant, exuberant wine are mindboggling. This bigger-than-life Cabernet Sauvignon appears set for 20-30 years of aging. It can be drunk now, but because of its sweet, velvety tannins, it will still be offering sensational drinking in 2040. (RP)" (06/2012)
Current Bid: $426.00
Bid on this bottle of 2016 Realm "Farella Vineyard" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (98JS, 97RP, 97WE, 96JD, 95DC, 95VN). James Suckling: "Intense aromas of licorice, blackberries and tar follow through to a full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Turns spicy, including red pepper and cayenne." (10/2018)
Current Bid: $145.01
Bid on this bottle of 1975 Rieussec, Sauternes (90RP). Wine Advocate: "Still remarkably youthful looking, and slow to evolve, this is a powerful, concentrated, and rich Sauternes, with decades of life ahead of it. Lemon, tropical fruit, and vanillin oaky aromas titillate the olfactory glands. Tight, yet rich, full-bodied flavors reveal marvelous balance and richness. It is aging at a snail's pace. (RP)" (01/1998)
Current Bid: $168.00
Bid on this 11-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2020 Ridge Vineyards "Benito Dusi Ranch" Paso Robles Zinfandel (94JS, 93WE, 90VN), 2-bottles of 2020 Ridge Vineyards "Boatman" Sonoma Valley Zinfandel (94W&S, 92WE, 92WS, 90JD), 2-bottles of 2020 Ridge Vineyards "Buchignani Ranch" Sonoma County Carignane (94JS, 93WE, 92W&S, 90VN), 1-bottle of 2020 Ridge Vineyards "Corralitos - Gali Vineyard" Santa Cruz County Pinot Noir, 1-bottle of 2020 Ridge Vineyards "Halter Ranch" Adelaida District Grenache Blanc (92WS), 2-bottles of 2020 Ridge Vineyards "Lytton Estate" Dry Creek Valley Syrah/Grenache/Mataro (93WE), and 2-bottles of 2020 Ridge Vineyards "Mazzoni Home Ranch" Sonoma County Zinfandel (91W&S, 91WE). Of the 2020 Ridge Vineyards "Benito Dusi Ranch" Paso Robles Zinfandel, James Suckling writes: "This is a generous red with tannins that spread across the palate. The fruit shows so much dark berry, chocolate and walnut husk character. It's long and flavorful. Juicy Dusi." (09/2022)
Current Bid: $297.00
Bid on this bottle of 2010 Pontet-Canet, Pauillac (100JS, 100RP, 100TWI). Wine Advocate: "The 2010 Pontet-Canet offers a very deep garnet color. Whoa—the nose explodes with a vast array of black fruit preserves and savory nuances: plum preserves, blackcurrant cordial, black cherry coulis and licorice with wafts of dried lavender, melted chocolate, charcuterie, black olives, truffles and camphor plus a hint of sandalwood. The full-bodied palate is completely filled with black fruits, exotic spices and earthy nuances with a firm foundation of ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with epic length and depth. So much more expressive and seductive than a lot of 2010s at this stage, and yet it is still incredibly youthful! (LPB)" (05/2020)
Current Bid: $200.00
Bid on this bottle of 2005 Colgin "Cariad" Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (100RP, 97VN, 95WE, 94JS, 94WS). Wine Advocate: "The blend that Colgin fashions from three vineyards owned by David Abreu (Madrona, Thorevilos and Howell Mountain) is called Cariad. The 2005 Proprietary Red Cariad consists of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 9% Petit Verdot. Offering up spring flowers and garden aromas, sweet blueberry and black raspberry fruit, a touch of charcoal embers, graphite and background toast, it is fleshy and full-bodied, and again, meriting a three-digit score. This is absolutely remarkable wine. As it sat in the glass, it developed some rather compelling chocolaty, licorice undertones. This is a great classic to drink over the next 20-25 years. By the way, for those interested, the cooperage generally chosen is dominated by Taransaud barrels, but there are at least four different coopers. (RP)" (06/2015)
Current Bid: $295.00
Bid on this bottle of 1995 Aldo Conterno "Cicala" Barolo (90WS). Wine Spectator: "Classy aromas of wild berries, smoke and dried herbs are appealing. Medium to full in body, with a clean, rather crisp frame, it has a enough concentration of ripe and rich fruit to suggest cellaring for extra complexity. The mineral, soillike taste of terroir is impressive on the long finish. Best after 2002." (11/1999)
Current Bid: $101.00
Bid on this 2-magnum lot of 1987 Caymus Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L). According to Robert Parker: The Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, which spends significant time in oak, can be one of California's most riveting wines. First made in 1975, there have been some exceptionally concentrated, powerful wines that are still young and evolving (i.e, the 1978, 1976, and 1975). The decade of the eighties produced less profound Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignons, with the exception of the 1984 and 1985.(10/1993)*Ranked #3 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 1991*
Current Bid: $682.00
Bid on this bottle of 2009 Pichon-Baron, Pauillac (98DC, 98RP, 96JA, 96ST, 96VN, 96WE, 95JS, 95WS). Wine Advocate: "Revealing incredible quality and performing better than it did from barrel, the 2009 appears to be the greatest Pichon Longueville Baron since the 1990 and 1989. An amazing opaque blue/purple color is followed by scents of spring flowers, graphite, smoky charcoal, incense, blackberries, blueberries and hints of coffee and chocolate. Incredibly intense, pure and flawlessly constructed with extravagant layers of fruit and richness, this offering has developed beautifully under the management of Christian Seeley. It is a voluptuous, opulent Pichon Longueville Baron that may eclipse anything they have made in the past. (RP)" (12/2011)
Current Bid: $191.00
Bid on this 2-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 1987 Grgich Hills Napa Valley Chardonnay and 1-bottle of 1989 Chalone Chardonnay (90WS). Of the 1989 Chalone Chardonnay, Wine Spectator writes: "Has very earthy, smoky aromas that border on musty, but the flavors are ripe and the texture is round and supple. Fig and grapefruit flavors come on slowly and gain complexity on the finish, making for a very distinctive, individual wine. *Highly Recommended*" (11/1990)
Current Bid: $125.00
Bid on this bottle of 2019 Vine Hill Ranch "VHR" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon (100DC, 100RP, 99JD, 99TWI, 98IWR, 98JS, 98VN, 98WE). Wine Advocate: "Even better than the stunning 2018, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon evokes darker-skinned berries, hinting at black cherries and cassis, while still showing the vineyard's earthy-loamy side. It's a full-bodied, plush wine, with great concentration, a rich, velvety texture and a long, elegant finish that seems to linger for several minutes. Wow! (JC)" (01/2024)
Starting Bid: $295.00
Bid on this bottle of 2019 Torrin "The Maven" Willow Creek Grenache (94JS, 93RP, 93VN). James Suckling: "This pure grenache shows depth and firmness with ripe-strawberry and floral aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, integrated tannins and a fresh finish. Bright. Hints of tar at the end. Very polished on the palate. " (03/2022)
Starting Bid: $125.00
Bid on this bottle of 2012 Bodegas El Nido "Clio" Jumilla (93WE, 92VN). Wine Enthusiast: "An intense bouquet with resiny oak, coconut, fig, prune and blackberry aromas is staunch and heady. This is yet another lush, deep, high-alcohol wine from the Gil family. Baked black-fruit flavors register at max ripeness, while flavors of coffee, chocolate and toast push the finish on this flamboyant Monastrell blend.

Bid on this bottle of 2019 Quilceda Creek "Tchelistcheff - Mach One Vineyard - Clone 412" Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon (98JS, 98VN, 96JD, 96RP). Vinous: "The thrilling, deeply concentrated 2019 Tchelistcheff Mach One Vineyard Clone 412 pays homage to Paul Golitzin’s great-uncle, who was a Napa pioneer, formerly at BV for more than 20 years as head winemaker. This clone 412 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Mach One vineyard shows off crème de violette tones alongside tar, black currant jelly, Asian spices and blueberry compote tones that all collide in the glass. The gorgeous, softtexture really entices as crème de cassis, anise, dark chocolate shavings and coffee grounds come together seamlessly on the palate. With beautiful length, flavor and density that is rarely seen in 2019 Washington red wine, the 2019 Tchelistcheff will cellar well for another 20 years to come. (OB)" (03/2022)

Bid on this bottle of 2012 Antica Terra "Antikythera" Emola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir (95VN, 93WS, 91RP). Vinous: "Bright violet color. An explosively perfumed bouquet evokes an array of ripe red and dark berry, floral pastille and incense scents, along with suggestions of cola, mocha and smoky minerals. Conveys a compelling blend of richness and vivacity on the palate, offering deeply concentrated black raspberry, cherry liqueur, spicecake and candied lavender flavors that spread out on the back half. Showy but also impeccably balanced, finishing with slowly arriving velvety tannins and remarkable clarity and cling. A star of this superb vintage, which isn't short of standout wines.

Bid on this 5-bottle lot of 2018 Mount Eden Edna Valley Chardonnay. Notes on the producer from Antonio Galloni for Vinous: "There are so many compelling wines in this range from Mount Eden and sister estate Domaine Eden. The Wolff Vineyard Chardonnay, from a site in Edna Valley, is once again a ridiculous value. Not to be outdone, the Domaine Eden Chardonnay is not too far behind. At the upper end, the 2018 Mount Eden Chardonnay is fabulous, while the 2017 Reserve, which sees a second year of aging in tank, is so elegant. It’s a similar theme in the Pinot Noirs. The Domaine Eden bottling is more forward and fruity, while the Mount Eden wine has more whole cluster influence and greater structure. And then there are the Cabernets, which are reference points for the appellation. Minimal intervention farming, with very little irrigation at Domaine Eden and basically none at Mount Eden, is standard. The wines are done with spontaneous ferments and are barely touched in aging."

Bid on this bottle of 2017 St. Helena Winery "Sympa" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ((91-93RP), (88-91VN)). Wine Advocate: "A barrel sample, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Sympa reveals beautiful redcurrants, kirsch and blackberry notions with hints of dried herbs, lavender, damp soil and tar. Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm, chewy frame and plenty of freshness, finishing long and savory. (LPB)" (10/2018)

Bid on this bottle of 2018 Cayuse "God Only Knows" Walla Walla Valley Grenache (99VN, 98JD, 97JS, 96RP, 94WE, 93WS). Vinous: "The 2018 Red Wine God Only Knows is a truly mesmerizing blend of nearly all Grenache with a small part Syrah, sourced from the Armada vineyard, farmed at a mere 1.5 tons per acre. The incredibly savory nose features blood orange zest, red cherry candy, nori and pomegranate seed with stony undertones. The palate is liquid silk that makes this wine truly all its own. Lip-smacking acidity, beautiful tension and an exceedingly long finish add to the equation. The purity of fruit here is second to none. This very “Château Rayas” bottling is nothing short of perfection in the bottle. (OB)" (10/2021)

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2019 Domaine Eden Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay (93WE, 93WS). Wine Enthusiast: "Aromas of lemon confit, toasted almond, damp oak and a hint of sour cream make for a complex and compelling nose on this bottling. The palate opens with toasted nut flavors before heading into lemon curd, dried nectarine and sea salt. That blanched almond touch returns for the finish. (MK)" (11/2022)

Bid on this bottle of 2002 Arnaud Ente Puligny-Montrachet ''Les Referts'' 1er Cru ((94-95RP), 94JG, 94ST, (89-92BH)). Wine Advocate: "The exceptional 2002 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts bursts from the glass with creamed hazelnuts, spices, and lilies. Medium to full-bodied, hugely expansive and tangy, this wine blossoms on the palate with subtle, delicate, refined flavors of flowers, resin, and minerals. A feminine, pure, graceful wine, it has magnificent concentration, complexity, and length. (PR)" (02/2004)
