This extraordinary collection features 3 cases of the finest wines from both established and boutique producers, with a total estimated value of nearly $4,500. The lineup includes prestigious Napa Valley Cabernets from legendary producers like Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, whose coveted Cask 23 ($318) represents the pinnacle of California winemaking. For those seeking something truly special, there's a rare 2005 Richard G. Peterson Brut Rose, with only 480 cases ever produced, alongside exceptional Champagnes from boutique producers like Suenen, whose exclusive Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs showcases the finest expression of Chardonnay from the renowned Cramant region.
For the wine enthusiast, this collection offers some fascinating opportunities to explore terroir through several single-vineyard expressions, particularly from Nickel & Nickel, whose various Cabernet bottlings allow for fascinating side-by-side comparisons of Napa's diverse microclimates. The selection also includes some wonderful discoveries like the family-owned Ghost Block Estate Cabernet, whose fruit quality rivals wines three times its price, and an intriguing Palette Blanc from the historic Chateau Simone in Provence, which has been producing wines for over two centuries. Notable high scores from respected critics include 98 points for the Quinta Do Noval Vintage Port, 97 points for both the Faila Fort Ross-Seaview Pinot Noir and Cornell Sonoma County Estate Cabernet, and 96 points for standouts like Chateau Guiraud Sauternes and Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cask 23.
