The Harlan family have been engaged in wine growing in California's Napa Valley since the late 1970s. Their first winery, Harlan Estate, has established an international benchmark for the art of viticulture over the course of nearly four decades. In the early 1980s H. William Harlan discovered an isolated territory while hiking along the southwestern ridge of Oakville in the Napa Valley. The hidden expanse moved him deeply but remained elusive until the Harlan family acquired it in 2008. As the family's second generation & wine growing team explored & worked with the land they began to make discoveries of their own. At the core of this wild terrain they found a powerful geologic convergence that shaped the land's steep, rugged topography & created the conditions for an altogether exotic wine growing environment. Over time, they realized that the dramatic landscape would slowly change them & ultimately inspire a new endeavor: Promontory. Guests of Meadowood Napa Valley are surrounded by natural beauty on this private estate. Accommodations & gathering areas are designed to be enjoyed. Meadowood Napa Valley, a longstanding member of Relais & Chateaux, has played a central role in the social, cultural, economic, & philanthropic life within Napa Valley for more than 40 years. Meadowood is a center of social, cultural, and viticultural life in Napa Valley for those who enjoy the beauty and hospitality of wine country. The property features championship croquet lawns, tennis courts, a nine-hole golf course, hiking trails, swimming pools, a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star spa, wine experiences & Michelin 3-star dining at The Restaurant.

"Hairspray" by David Yarrow
Live Item"Hairspray" by David YarrowLimited Edition 4/12
FMV $37,000
This image of a magnificent male lion is a large-scale, limited edition print. The photograph immortalizes Vayetse, who lives in Kevin Richardson's (the Lion Whisperer) sanctuary. The print is signed, editioned, and dated by David Yarrow. David Yarrow is now recognized as one of the world's best-selling fine art photographers of his genre and is represented by over 20 leading galleries around the world. Over the last two years, three of David's limited edition works have sold for over $100,000 at Sotheby's auctions in London and New York. In January 2019, David was appointed as the global ambassador for UBS bank; their collaborative campaign posters launched in Zurich airport and can now be seen around the world. Philanthropy and conservation are central to David Yarrow's passion to document the animal and human world in a fresh and creative way. In 2018 Yarrow's work raised over $2 million, $311,000 of which was raised on October 2018 in collaboration with Tag Heuer & Cara Delevingne and was directed toward the Cara Delevingne Foundation.
"To be so very close to this majestic lion was a privilege, but it was hard earned. I hope it will strike an emotional chord with all lovers of the lion and remind us that the eyes are the windows to the soul -whether they be the eyes of a human or the eyes of a cat. Of all the truly iconic animals that we cohabit our wonderful planet with, the African lion is the one that many informed people are most worried about in terms of survival."-David Yarrow
Archival pigment print. Edition 4 of 12.
Measures 71" x 80"
Restrictions:
Excludes packaging & shipping fees
Kevin Richardson & David decided that an explosive running shot would best portray the essence of Vayetse & shot at a low angle to ensure nothing but the magnificent lion draws the eye. To photograph lions mid-run, David typically draws on his perfected remote control work. However to capture Vayetse David decided to operate the camera himself, which added to the complexity of achieving this shot. It took 2 full days of shooting to capture this image, 1 millisecond too early or late & this shot would not have worked.
David's evocative & immersive photography of life on Earth is most distinctive and has earned him an ever-growing following amongst art collectors. David's position in the industry has been rewarded with a wide range of advisory and ambassadorial roles. In conservation he is an ambassador for WildArk, on the advisory board of Tusk, & an ambassador for the Kevin Richardson Foundation. In September 2019 Rizzoli published David Yarrow's latest book. This 368-page photography monograph showcases 150 of David's strongest images from the past two years. The book features a foreword written by global NFL star Tom Brady & an afterword written by American cultural icon Cindy Crawford. All royalties from this book will be donated to conservation charities Tusk in the UK and WildAid in the US.

Measurements: 52" w x 40" h
Sea turtles have been around a really long time - the oldest known sea turtle fossils date back about 150 million years, making them some of the oldest creatures on Earth. Just for some context, dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago. Unfortunately, six of the seven species of sea turtles are either threatened or endangered. Humans pose the biggest threat to a sea turtle's survival, which contributes to problems such as entanglement, habitat loss and consumption of their eggs and meat.
Dave White is a British Contemporary Artist, who dedicates his work to celebrating popular culture and interpreting emotive issues with his signature style of painting. He supports many environmental charities with his work and installations alongside an international exhibition.

"New Beginnings" by Chris Fallows
Elephant poaching has had a devastating impact on Africa's elephant populations and virtually everywhere on the continent their numbers are plummeting. However, there are a few bastions of hope, where populations are stable or growing. Amboseli in South Kenya is one such location. Dedicated conservation, research and tourism organizations have tirelessly monitored, guarded and protected this population once on the brink of being wiped out.
Today, large herds still roam the dusty plains lying in the foothills of Kilimanjaro and the number of young in this large breeding herd pays testament to the relentless conservation efforts of many, and the rewards that come with perseverance.
Measurements: 62"w x 43" h
Chris Fallows is a world renowned wildlife photographer and world authority on Great white sharks. Chris has become a household name due to his involvement in the iconic Shark Week Series, AIR JAWS, on The Discovery Channel, BBC's Planet Earth and various National Geographic documentaries.

"Cheetah" by Kristian Schmidt
This amazing picture was captured by Kristian Schmidt in Kruger National Park in South Africa.
A cheetah can accelerate from 0 to 113 km in just a few seconds, faster than a Tesla!
One way to always recognize a cheetah is by the long, black lines which run from the inside of each eye to the mouth. These are usually called "tear lines" and scientists believe they help protect the cheetah's eyes from the harsh sun and help them to see long distances.
Measurements: 40" w x 53" h

"Lion Tree" by Xtina Parks
Can you count the number of lions in the tree?
Xtina Parks perfectly captured this lion pride in the middle of an afternoon nap.
Some believe that lions opt to climb trees to get a better view, while others believe it is so that they can catch a bit of a cool breeze on a hot day or get away from tsetse flies that may bite them at ground level.

"BedHead" by Kimerlee Curyl
BedHead, Wild Stallion, Utah's Onaqui Mountains.
While out with the wild herds, no matter which area, photographer Kimerlee Curyl finds herself surrounded by the herd leader or stronger stallions. She loves to think it's kismet, however as herd dynamics go, it's the proud role of the leader. Protecting his family. This exquisite stallion was near her almost every day of this trip. Spanish in his look and stature, he was living, breathing poetry as he courted the hearts of young fillies. This image was captured as he was doing just that. Literally courting a beautiful bay filly with big doe eyes away from her family band. Such a beauty to witness as the mare and stallion of her band, put up no argument, knowing this is the true order of things in the wild.
Measurements: 54" w x 36" h
Dedicated to the cause since 2004, Kimerlee's hope is to inspire others, not only to appreciate the beauty of these creatures, but to take an interest in helping preserve their place on this land - our American Public Lands. She is committed to the protection of wildness, her ongoing efforts not only chronicle the freedom of our wild horses on their home territory and to help raise significant awareness for the plight they are continuing to face year after year.

"Grace" by Dan Ostermiller
"Grace" 2015 is an amazing bronze giraffe sculpture and is a limited edition 13 of 20.
Giraffes only need 5 to 30 minutes of sleep in a 24-hour period! They often achieve that in quick naps that may last only a minute or two at a time. So, what do giraffes do all day? Giraffes require over 75 pounds of food a day-and with a diet of leaves, this means they spend most of their time eating and not sleeping!
Measurements: 22" h x 12" w x 26" d
Weight: 42 pounds
Dan Ostermiller is the son of a famed taxidermist and the experience he gained under his father's tutelage influenced Ostermiller's career and was responsible for his interest in becoming a sculptor of animals as well as for his complete understanding of animal form.
Ostermiller has enlarged the scope of his knowledge of wildlife with expeditions to Alaska, Africa and all corners of the West. Ostermiller's sculpture conveys a mood and an emotion. Each bronze engages the viewer, encouraging the touch of a hand and inviting further contemplation. "If I have a trademark, it's the character I put in pieces. I incorporate, I hope, strong design. I give people something they can relate to and a good piece of sculpture."

"On the Move" by Harder Bronze Works
Paul Harder was inspired to create this bronze pangolin by Jackie Chan's pangolin PSA with WildAid where Jackie taught his pangolin friends how to use martial arts to protect themselves from poachers. Paul was drawn to the walking pose selected as it seemed to convey such personality and a specialness to this amazing creature whom is one of the least known animals on the planet.
Sadly, this tough looking little mammal is on the edge of survival with some populations classified as Critically Endangered. They are the most trafficked animal in the world which has led to more than a million being stolen from the wild. The IUCN estimate that a Pangolin is taken from the wild every 5 minutes.
Rolling up creates a hard, spiky, impenetrable ball that can defeat even the jaws of lions, tigers and leopards. However, by cruel coincidence, it is this same defense mechanism that makes human capturing of the pangolins as easy as picking up a ball.

"Together" by Federico Veronesi
"Together" was taken in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It captures a unique moment when a Lioness and her male partner woke up from their siesta and approached the edge of the rock to look at the future and the world around them together.
"When I pulled up next to this huge rocky outcrop in the eastern Serengeti one mid-afternoon in February, I had no idea what I would find on the rock or hidden in its crevices. I was just driving slowly around the rock when suddenly a Lioness came up to the highest boulder followed by a huge dark-maned male. She walked to the edge and stared at the horizon. I always have three camera bodies with three lenses ready on the seat next to me. I grabbed one and shot this magnificent scene right away, without even turning off the engine as there was just no time. In wildlife photography planning, patience, preparation, are all important. But sometimes you also need to react fast to unexpected encounters and situations. Moments such as this one, where animals pose so perfectly, are very fleeting and wildlife doesn't offer second chances."
The print is a very limited edition of 1 plus 1 Artist Proof at this super large size specially created for WildAid.
The print is framed in blackwood with linen mat.

Sign up for a spot on an incredibly unique experience. Six individuals to spend four days in the Bahamas in the field with leading shark biologists from the conservation NGO Beneath the Waves, as they collect data on shark behavior and health in one of the world's largest shark sanctuary. The experience will include two, one-hour to three-hour dives (weather dependent), in a 2-person submarine, as well as two days of hands-on shark-tagging research.

La Sirena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, 1.5L Magnum
Enjoy this amazing 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L magnum, etched & signed by winemaker Heidi Peterson Barrett. Deep dark blackberry in color with open aromas of ripe berries and all the black fruits, currants, plums, and blackberries. Very pure and concentrated with lovely French oak nuances and layers.

2015 Melka Mekerra Estate Proprietary Red - 3L Etched
2015 was a very warm year which resulted in wines rich in concentration and this wine from our high elevation vineyard is no exception. The aromatics are so expressive and enticing showing a typicity of Cabernet franc, dry herbs and undertones of ripe compote which give this nose a wow factor. There is a loamy, muscular tension to the wine that segues into its energy in the mouthfeel resulting in a wine that exudes balance and age-worthiness - a must add to the cellar.
53% Cabernet Franc, 47% Merlot, 100% Knights Valley

Herb Lamb Winery - 2 Magnums of HL Cabernet Sauvignon
From the Herb Lamb Vineyards at the foot of Howell Mountain, this is Jennifer Lamb's Signature Cabernet Sauvignon. Take home two magnums of this exquisite 2015 vintage.
Enjoy now or cellar for years to come!
2015 was the third year of the drought and coupled with cold weather at bloom it led to drastic decreases in tonnage across the Napa Valley. But the smaller yields led to an intensity of flavors with smaller berries and more concentrated color and varietal character. Only 250 cases were produced.
2015 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa is already thought to be an exceptional vintage, with the fruit of the 2014 and structure of the 2013 and ability to age. Winemaker Michael Trujillo calls it "one of the most concentrated and expressive vintages we have ever produced." This wine radiates with the typical characters of our terroir; licorice and crushed herbs, cassis, red currents, dried cherry, Bakers chocolate, blueberries and black raspberries, with exceptional depth and structure.

2014 LEVY & McClellan 1.5L Red Blend in a Wooden Box
Finding a bottle of Levy & McClellen is hard enough. Finding one that has been donated to WildAid -- because, as Bob said -- "the mission is so important and the effort so effective" it's priceless.
The 2014 vintage brought a third straight year of near perfect growing conditions creating another dynamic and exciting vintage. Harvest began with Merlot and ended with Petite Verdot.
The 2014 vintage presents itself as an accessible and opulent representation of the ripe fruit from the vintage with a velvety texture and ever evolving mid-palate 'juiciness', followed by a powerful yet supple and round structure of long lasting tannins.
Winemakers Bob Levy and Martha McClellan are each powerhouse winemakers on their own. Bob's credits include founding winemaker at Merryvale in 1983, and Harlan, Bond and the Napa Valley Reserve. Martha was trained in Germany and worked at wineries in Germany and Australia before coming to Napa. She also worked as a winemaker at Merryvale and Harlan, Sloan and Blankiet among other projects. Martha McClellan graduated from Geisenheim University, the only American woman to complete a degree in enology and viticulture there. Bob and Martha met while both working at Harlan.

2012 Scarecrow Magnum
This is an incredible and rare opportunity to add a 2012 Scarecrow 1.5L to your wine cellar - which is sold out.
2012 Scarecrow notes by winemaker Celia Welch
Crafted from the oldest, most balanced and most intensely flavorful Cabernet lots grown on the J. J. Cohn Estate, this impressive wine shows dark aromas of spiced plums, blackberries, mocha and cassis. Its dark complexity is equally evident on the palate, where the wine is at once refreshing and somewhat mysterious. The layers of complex flavors reveal themselves with time in the glass, shifting and swirling between bright fruit and dark vanilla/caramel tones.
Scarecrow's vineyards were planted by the legendary J.J. Cohn in 1945, and supplied fruit to the cream of the Napa Valley crop for many years, including Inglenook, Opus One, and Joseph Phelps. Today, winery co-founders Brett Lopez and Mimi DiBlasio work with renowned winemaker Celia Welch to create cult-worthy wines.

2012 M. Étain notes by winemaker Celia Welch
Although the highest-toned, most perfumed aromas of ripe black cherries and raspberries jump immediately from the glass, with a short swirl of the wine one quickly senses the darker cedar, clove and sandalwood notes which create a sense of depth and complexity. Palate-wise, the wine shows a full, broad entry of ripe fruit, spreading to create a sense of fullness throughout the mid-palate. A continuous silky impression of fresh cherry juice from start to finish provides a sense of brightness to this complex wine.

SODHANI Vineyards 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum
This Reserve bottling contains individual best barrel selections from all our vineyard blocks by winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. The goal with this wine is to blend together the ultimate expression from the vineyard focusing on maximum power, complexity and depth of flavor but with each element in equal proportion. The result in 2015 is an impenetrably dark, brooding wine that shows its hillside character and nuanced structure. The wine immediately draws you in with its completely opaque deep purple hue. The aromatic profile suggests notes of cinnamon, pine bough, molten dark chocolate, and cassis reduction.
This wine has plenty of freshness and dense, rich fruit to offer in its youth but will certainly award extended cellaring.
Only 256 cases produced.
SODHANI Vineyards is a family owned 6.5 acre hillside vineyard in St Helena blessed with a unique terroir making limited releases of phenomenal, hand-crafted Cabernet Sauvignon wines by winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown who has received multiple 100 point scores from Robert Parker and Wine Spectator, and painstakingly produces gorgeous wines which are the true and perfect representation of our terroir.

SODHANI Vineyards 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum
This vintage of the SODHANI Reserve is a sensory-saturating experience of pure hillside Cabernet Sauvignon expression by winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. It's dark, rich and layered with deep fruit notes and a host of complimentary layers of spice, framed with a silky structure. In the glass the wine displays a completely opaque purple hue. Upon closer inspection aromas emerge in waves of macerated blackberries, lavender, baking spices, and fresh loam. The mouth feel of the wine is noted by a finely integrated tannic grip up front that blossoms into more supple notes of stewed currants, plum reduction, flint, tack room, blood orange zest, cocoa nib, and clove. The extended mouth coating finish goes on for well over a minute ending with light floral notes and bright purple fruit. Due to the wealth of fruit and structure this wine possesses, it will benefit with 5 years in the cellar or a generous decant.
Only 173 cases produced.

Clase Azul Bottles
Clase Azul Plata is a fresh tasting blanco tequila produced from 100% organic blue weber agave. The agave is slow cooked in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours and then distilled using a proprietary yeast developed by our master distiller. Plata is not aged and the natural colors that come from the slow cooking are filtered out prior to bottling in a stunning crystal clear bottle with blue accent at its base.
Clase Azul Reposado has been praised by tequila connoisseurs for its superior taste and stunning handmade decanter. This Clase Azul is aged in reclaimed American oak barrels for eight months after it has gone through the distillation process. Each bottle is made with high quality white ceramic and then hand painted by artisans in our bottling facility.
Clase Azul Anejo "Edición Indígena Mazahua" (or Mazahua-Edition) is an ultra-premium anejo tequila made from organic Tequilana Weber Blue Agave. Its intense amber color and layered aromas are a result of twenty-five months of aging. Once the agave has reached its optimal ripeness and is harvested, the treasured heart of the agave is obtained. The ornamentation of the bottle concludes at the neck of the bottle with a 24-karat gold vermeil charm medallion and feathered design that distinctively represents Clase Azul.
Clase Azul Ultra Extra Anejo is the world's most luxurious tequila and is quite literally in a league of its own. This exclusive Clase Azul offering is only produced in numbered batches of 100 bottles, which are quickly purchased by collectors. Each bottle contains tequila that is aged for five years in previously used sherry wood casks from Spain which gives Clase Azul Ultra its unique refined character. The decanter used for Ultra is a striking work of art, hand painted with platinum and features a silver agave medallion and label applied using 24-karat gold.

2016 Isthmus Vintage tasting notes:
Dark ruby garnet in hue, this wine shows a bouquet of sweet dark cherry, plum and kirsch over complex notes of soy, vanilla and spice. The fruit evolves to sweet mulled dark red fruits and blackberry preserve on the palate, framed by concentrated, sweet tannins and integrated oak. This wine is the most structured and persistent Isthmus we have made to date. It will provide great drinking pleasure in the near term and continue to develop gracefully over the next ten years. Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 1% Merlot.
