James Suckling: "Usually one of the palest Barolos in the glass, it shows its typical wild-strawberry and peony aromas, together with sweet violets, cinnamon, burned plastic-like smokiness and vermouth-like intensity. Great concentration on the full-bodied palate with velvety, creamy tannins. Refreshing, slightly lifted acidity and am elegant, filigree finish. Drinkable now, but best in a decade." (08/2024)

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2017 Aubert "CIX" Sonoma Coast Chardonnay (99RP, 98JS, 97VN, 94WS). Wine Advocate: "Planted in 2008 to Montrachet clone, the 2017 Chardonnay CIX Estate is so delightfully savory, you could make a whole meal of it! It opens with bags of praline, pain grille, allspice and dill seed notions over a core of baked apples, pear tart, aniseed and lime leaves plus a touch of sea spray. Full-bodied, the palate has fantastic texture with a little chewy grip countering the slight oiliness and supporting the savory layers beautifully, finishing long and refreshing.

Bid on this bottle of 1997 Lynch-Bages, Pauillac (92VN). Vinous: "The 1997 Lynch-Bages shows some degradation on the bricked rim. The bouquet is open-knit, fully mature with ferrous, undergrowth, leafy/autumnal scents. It's missing some fruit intensity, as you expect from a more challenging season. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp black fruit laced with orange rind, black pepper, cedar and tobacco. This shows the most cohesion towards the finish and displays a long, sustained aftertaste. This is a real turn-up for the books. (NM)" (07/2023)

It’s a superdense, richly textured wine with massive concentration, but it’s not forced or over-ripe. Intensely aromatic, with notes of liquorice and wild herbs, it beguiles your tastebuds with supple tannins, sweet oak and flavours of orange zest, Asian spices and blackberry and plum fruit.

This bottle came directly from the château's cellars. Incredible delineation and focus on the nose, this is just so pure and charming with black fruit, graphite, melted tar, cedar and pressed rose petals. It is close to perfection. The palate offers exquisite balance and finely-sculpted tannins. It's elegant and almost totally disguises its power. It gently fans out towards the finish with utmost poise and sophistication. Stunning. (NM)" (01/2023)

It has a very deep purple-black, opaque color and nose of crème de cassis, black cherry liqueur, cracked black pepper, bacon fat, savory green and black olive, violet, lilac, perfumed earth and tons of blue fruit jam notes. Full-bodied, rich and savory, it features wonderful black and blue fruit layers with tons of floral and savory perfume, very firm, chewy tannins, great freshness and a very long, savory finish.

Bid on this bottle of 2006 Giacomo Conterno "Cascina Francia" Barolo (97VN, 94JS, 94WS, 93ST). Vinous: "Is Giacomo Conterno’s 2006 Barolo Cascina Francia a traditional or modern Barolo? Great question. Texturally, the 2006 boasts marvelous depth and a level of pure intensity not often seen in traditionally made wines, yet the aromatics, tannin and overall structure are all super classic. This is another austere, tannic Barolo best left alone. (AG) 97+" (11/2014)
Current Bid: $210.00

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2012 Harlan Estate Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (OWC - 99IWR, 99RP, 99VN, 98JS) in original wood. Vinous: "The 2012 Harlan Estate is bright, delicate and understated. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, mint, blood orange and mocha. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, spice and blood orange lend vibrancy. There's terrific energy and tension from the late-ripening vintage, and a bit more oak tannin than there is these days, but all the elements are so well balanced. (AG)" (05/2024)

Of the 2005 Léoville Barton, St-Julien, Jane Anson writes: "Deep ruby red, this is great stuff, broad-shouldered, laced with aniseed, liqourice, touches of bitter black chocolate, muscular tannins and a luscious fruit core. Lip smacking stuff, with 2005 energy and excitement. Gets more serious as it opens, revealing black pepper spice, sage, rosemary and white pepper. A wonderful wine, one to sink into. You can easily wait to drink this, and it will reward another three to five years in bottle, then go for decades. If you do open it, give it a long carafe. 50% new oak." (06/2022)
Current Bid: $190.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2007 Léoville-Las Cases, St-Julien (95DC, 94JD, 94WE, 92RP, 92VN, 91WS). Decanter: "A deeper register of fruit than many of the 2007s on display, this is one where you would never pick the vintage blind. Here we get wet stones sliding up against slate and liquorice, dark bristling cassis and bramble fruit. There is just so much hold and confidence, and yet juiciness. No need to open this one yet. (JA)" (02/2017)

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2013 Hourglass "Estate" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (97JD, (94-96RP), 95VN, 95WE, 93JS, 93WS). Jeb Dunnuck: "Just a quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet that does everything right, Tony Biagi’s 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate comes from older vines in Calistoga and was brought up all in new barrels. Textbook, classic, elegant and impeccable balance are all adjectives that pop to mind, and this beauty sport a deep purple color to go with notes of pencil lead, blackcurrants, scorched earth and hints of tobacco leaf. Tasting like a 2009 First Growth from Pauillac (Mouton?), it has an incredibly sexy texture, full-bodied richness and a sensational finish. This is truly fabulous stuff and while approachable today, it will cruise for 2-3 decades. 97+" (07/2017)

Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 1997 Corison "Kronos" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (90VN). Vinous: "Medium red. Fully mature aromas of currant, plum, smoky oak and animal fur. Conveys a sexy decadent quality to its sweet raspberry and currant fruit, with firm, somewhat pronounced acidity giving shape and lift to the middle palate. This rather complex, classically styled Cabernet, which derives some lift by subtle herbal notes, boasts a complicating element of salinity and finishes with dusty tannins and very good length.

Bid on this bottle of 2014 Morlet "La Proportion Dorée" Sonoma County White Blend (100RP, 93VN).

This 650-case cuvée is from 29-year-old, dry farmed vines and was barrel-fermented. The wine is absolutely out of this world. With a light greenish gold color and a killer nose of lanolin, caramelized citrus, honeysuckle, orange marmalade and candle wax, the wine displays great acidity, a magnificent, massive, full-bodied mouthfeel, and seems to come across like a Sonoma County version of a dry Haut Brion blanc. This is singular wine - profound, compelling, whatever! (RP)" (12/2015)

Of the 2016 Linne Calodo "Cherry Red" Paso Robles Red Blend, Jeb Dunnuck writes: "I think the finest wine I’ve tasted from Matt is his 2016 Cherry Red, which is 52% Zinfandel, 14% Graciano, 23% Syrah, and the rest Carignan.

Wine Advocate: "Pierre-Yves Colin's 2015 Saint-Aubin Le Banc is really starting to show well, offering up a lovely bouquet of crisp Anjou pear, citrus oil, freshly baked bread and subtle hints of toasted nuts. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and incisive, it's beautifully vibrant even in this warm vintage, with chalky structuring extract, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish.

Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintners Select is terrific, with a classic Cabernet nose of red and black currants supported by lead pencil shavings, tobacco, and some gravelly earth-like minerality. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's not a blockbuster but builds nicely on the palate, with ripe, focusing tannins, a Bordeaux-like sense of structure, and outstanding length. It's approachable today and should keep for 15 years with no issues. It's a classic, impeccably made Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon." (05/2022)

Full-bodied, intense and beautifully concentrated, with plenty of muscle and depth, it shows the hallmark elegance and purity of the estate, with sensational notes of kirsch liqueur, raspberries, incense, smoked meats and Asian spices. The blend is the normal 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah and the rest a mix of permitted varieties, brought up all in older foudre, and it's just now entering its prime drink window and has another two decades of longevity.

Very concentrated, juicy wine with excellent length."

The wine reveals impressive fruit levels as well as a blossoming complexity. It should drink well for at least 5-6 years." (12/10)

Kerin O'Keefe: "Red berry, rose petal and whiffs of exotic spice come to the forefront on this stunning red together with whiffs of camphor. It’s still youthfully austere, precise and firm, delivering wild strawberry, cranberry, ground clove and hints of coffee bean alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps balanced. Give this a few more years to fully develop. " (02/2023)
Current Bid: $300.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2011 Booker "RLF" Paso Robles Red Blend. Booker Vineyard is farmed biodynamically. They believe it keeps them in touch with their vineyard and forces them to perceive it as a living, breathing entity. Biodynamic farming follows the beliefs of Rudolf Steiner, who promoted a holistic approach to farming, describing that all things on the farm (including soil, plants, and livestock) are interrelated. Like many, they were skeptical of the concept at first. Eventually they came to realize, if these farming practices are good enough for some of the most discriminating wineries of the world then why not give it a try. Thus far, biodynamics has proven to increase the overall health and balance of their vineyard, as well as their team working within it.A GSM blend with Tempranillo, too.

Wine Advocate: "The 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Reservée (of which I was lucky to find a magnum on a Paris bistro’s wine list a week after my tasting at the estate) is a brilliant effort that ranks alongside the colossal 2003 Cuvee Reservee. A blend of approximately 85% Grenache, 8-9% Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre and other varietals from 50-100+ year old vines aged in foudre, it exhibits a dense plum/purple color along with a big, sweet bouquet of beef blood, grilled herbs, barbecue smoke, lavender, sweet cassis and kirsch and a hint of Asian soy. The wine possesses a fabulous texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel and a seamless integration of tannin, acidity and alcohol. Certainly the alcohol level is pushing 16% in this wine. (RP)" (10/2010)

Bid on this 2-magnum lot of 2018 L'Aventure Estate Cuvée Paso Robles Red Blend (1.5L) (100JD, 98JS, 97VN, 95RP, 94DC). Jeb Dunnuck: Tasting like the straight Cab, yet with more sex appeal, it offers a huge nose of crème de cassis, white flowers, crushed stone, graphite, and crushed flowers. This carries to a full-bodied, gorgeously textured red with incredible balance, no hard edges, a thrilling mid-palate, and a great, great finish. It's going to benefit from 5-6 years of bottle age and keep for upwards of two decades or more. Hats off to winemaker Stephan Asseo on another incredible wine, as well as, I suspect, the wine of the vintage. *Ranked #5 in Top 100 Wines of 2020* (09/2020)

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2009 Gallica Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (95RP, 94VN, 94WS, 92DC). Wine Advocate: "The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is a big, plush wine. Despite its initial richness, there is plenty of underlying tannin. Sweet floral notes are woven throughout. The 2009 bursts with energy, precision and sheer class. It is a dazzling effort. Far from an easygoing 2009, the wine shows the more structured side of the vintage. It is likely to require at least a few years in bottle. The 2009 is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, aged in French oak barrels, 81% new. (AG) 95+" (12/2011)

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2006 Glaetzer "Amon-Ra" Shiraz Barossa Valley South Australia (99JD, 96IWR, 96JH, 95WE, 94RP, 93ST). Jeb Dunnuck: "The almost perfect 2006 Glaetzer Shiraz Amon-Ra Barossa Valley is packed with earthy, bright and mineral laced fruit, leather and chocolate ganache flavors that cover the palate. Despite the size, this has fantastic acidity, amazing purity, perfect balance and otherworldly finish." (09/2008)
