93 points Wine Spectator: "A surprise, showing plenty of ripe and exotic fruit for the vintage. Dark-ruby in color, with ripe plum and earth character. Full-bodied, with a long chocolate, berry finish." (11/1997) 90 points Wine Advocate: "Undoubtedly a top success for the vintage, Pichon-Lalande's 1979 exhibits a dark garnet color with some amber at the edge. It offers a fragrant, cedary, roasted herb, and cassis-scented nose. Rich, with medium body, well-integrated tannin, and some acidity, this is the quintessentially elegant style of Bordeaux that i...

According to Robert Parker: "One of the most famous names in Pomerol ... In the nineteenth century, as well as the early part of the twentieth century, Vieux-Chateau-Certan was considered to produce the finest wines of Pomerol... Vieux-Chateau-Certan bases its style and complexity on a high percentage of cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon, whereas Petrus is nearly 100% Merlot. The vineyard, located in the heart of the plateau, surrounded by much of the reigning aristocracy of the appellation... has gravelly soil with a subsoil of iron-enriched clay. T...

Bid on this bottle of 1979 Diamond Creek "Volcanic Hill" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (94JG). John Gilman: "I have made a lot of notations about alcohol levels in my notes on many of the younger wines I have tasted from California, as I firmly believe that it is a key fundament in determining how well a wine will age over the long-term, and for wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, I frankly just have little interest drinking them young. Here is a beautiful example on how a lower octane Cabernet can age brilliantly, as the powerful style of Diamond Creek’s “mountain Cabernets” found the ’79 Volcanic Hill tipping the scales at a cool and collected twelve percent alcohol! I find it highly unlikely that even the most strident fans of the over the top jam juice style of Cabernet would find this wine “malnourished or green”, as it is a brilliant and utterly complete wine that is now at its apogee of peak drinkability."

Bid on this bottle of 1979 Beaulieu Vineyard "Georges de Latour Private Reserve" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (93RP, 92VN). Wine Advocate: "Medium to deep brick colored, the 1979 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Georges de Latour features well-defined dried cranberries, redcurrant jelly and stewed plums notes with hints of dried lavender, eucalyptus, bouquet garni, damp soil and pencil shavings plus a touch of leather. Medium-bodied and sporting a modest alcohol level of 13%, the palate offers fantastic intensity and a firm, chewy frame, culminating in loads of savory and exotic spice-accented layers on the finish. This vintage is currently holding a nice plateau, so no rush to drink. (LPB)" (05/2019)

Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 1979 Franciscan Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. As harvest was about to begin in 1979, President Jimmy Carter was attacked by a rabbit in his canoe, in Plains, Georgia. As harvest was wrapping up, The Police's hit single "Message In A Bottle" peaked at No. 1 on the UK music charts. This vintage is a message in a bottle indeed, from toward the end of the Justin Meyer (co-founder of Silver Oak) period at Franciscan. Silver Oak actually continued to make wine at Franciscan until 1986.
Starting Bid: $80.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1979 Domaine de Chevalier, Pessac-Léognan (94JG). John Gilman: "... one of the great vintages of Domaine de Chevalier and its quality far transcends the general level of the vintage. The bouquet is bright, expressive and complex, wafting from the glass in a blend of red and black cherries, cigar wrapper, chocolate, lovely soil tones, sweet nutskin and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and really shows off great mid-palate depth, with outstanding focus and grip, still a bit of suave tannin and a long, tangy and superbly complex finish. Such a lovely vintage of DDC." (09/2020)
