4 Château Margaux Perhaps the grandest of the Bordeaux châteaux, Château Margaux is the epitome of style and refinement. For centuries before the French Revolution, the château was owned by the Lestonnac family. The revolution, though, saw the estate s owners beheaded, and when the heirs were unable to pay the costs of running the château, Margaux was put up for auction. The successful bidder, the Marquis de la Colonilla, demolished the old château, and in 1802 work began on the grand château we know today. The Château was sold several times until it was acquired by the Ginestets, longtime shareholders who finally became sole owners in 1949, with the purchase financed by the sale of their St Emilion property, Clos Fortet. However, First Growth châteaux are expensive to run, and to finance the operations of the estate, the owner sold off the vineyards of Dufort Vivens in the 1960s and transferred Cos d Estournel to his sister in Even those moves, though, were not enough, and collapse of the Bordeaux market in the early 1970s forced Ginestet to sell the château in 1976 to Greek supermarket magnate Andre Mentzelopoulos. A serious oenophile, he was also a major shareholder in the French wine firm, Nicolas.

5 Château Mouton Rothschild Mouton, like much of Pauillac in the sixteenth century, was part of the sprawling Ségur estate. In the mideighteenth century the land that is now Mouton Rothschild was acquired by Baron de Brane, who changed the name to Brane-Mouton. Brane sold it in 1830 to an M Thuret; while it was already a notable Château, first appearing in a Christie s catalog in 1834, Thuret did not make maintenance of the Château a priority and resold it in The purchaser was Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, at the time head of the English arm of the wealthy Rothschild family. While Mouton was always a highly regarded wine, a big change came when in 1922, when the twenty-oneyear-old Baron Philippe decided to run the Château fulltime. An innovator from the start of his tenure, in 1924 he decided that in order to guarantee quality the entire production would be bottled at the Château, and from 1934 he numbered each bottle released. Also, of course, he started the tradition of works of art on Mouton labels, featuring the famous Carlu ram s head from 1924 to 1926, and since a hiatus from then until 1945, each label has either been designed by a major artist or featured a tribute to a significant event in the Château s history. Perhaps his most significant achievement was persuading the French Minister for Agriculture, Jacques Chirac, that Mouton was and had always been a First Growth that had been wrongly classified. So, in 1973, for the first and only time, a revised edition of the 1855 classification was released with Mouton finally ranked, next to its Pauillac neighbors Lafite and Latour, as a First Growth.

23 Pétrus Pétrus today is a little over eleven hectares, including five hectares purchased in 1969 from neighboring Château Gazin. The vineyards have clay topsoil and gravelly subsoil, allowing good initial water retention but excellent longer term drainage. The vines are old, around forty to fifty years, planted with ninety percent Merlot and five percent Cabernet Franc. To increase concentration the vines are pruned extensively and a green harvest is performed. At harvest time, nearly two hundred workers pick the grapes at their peak of balance and ripeness. Sometimes up to four passes are needed but if pressed, as in 1982, the entire harvest can be completed in just one day. The grapes are partially destemmed and after a fairly lengthy maceration period, sometimes almost a month, the wine spends twenty months in new oak before being fined (but not filtered) and bottled. Pétrus is a classic example of careful vineyard management and winemaking yet the result leaves evidence of something even greater. These methods combine with exquisite terroir for Merlot to create something that is, in good vintages, not only earthshatteringly tasty, but distinctive, lending the name Pétrus majesty because of its quality but also its inimitability.

Each major property occupies its own little hill. Yquem s is the highest. It is also the largest estate, the most perfectionistic, the most consistent. Unlike the rest of the region there was no cutting of corners, no lack of investment, no dip in quality in the sad days of the 1960s and 1970s. At Yquem we have Sauternes winemaking at its most perfectionistic. The vines are pruned to yield nine hl/ ha one glass per vine (as opposed to a full bottle in a classified growth red wine château). Collection of the grapes is berry by botrytised berry, rather than by bunch or half-bunch elsewhere. The grapes are crushed in a small horizontal hydraulic press in three stages. Unlike in Champagne, for example, the first pressing does not necessarily give the best wine. There is no débourbage before the wine is put into cask. Fermentation and ageing is in new oak, of course, the latter taking place in a splendid underground cellar, constructed in The assemblage is late and the wine is not bottled for three years or more. Only then is it put on the market There is something very special, and indeed very consistent, about Yquem. The wine is more oaky than most in its youth. It is by quite some way the richest, most concentrated, most intense wine of its kind. In great years I have a marginal preference for 1989 over 1990 and 1988 it is nectar: the liquid quintessence of concentrated sunbeams, to quote Thomas Love Peacock.

34 The Anchor ColleCtion: Mature Rarities (Lots ) This collection comes to Zachys Auction from a collector who bought mainly in NYC-area retail. The collector is a builder by trade and he brought the construction sense he used to build his business into his home wine cellar. The cellar is a gorgeous affair, but all of the wines were stored in premium custom racking, which is why you don t see wooden cases in this consignment. The temperature control was consistent, which is what matters most. What you do see is plenty of excellent Bordeaux. There s a smattering of younger vintages, but the meat of this offering is mature wine, from 1982 and 1990 Cheval Blanc to multiple lots of two legendary wines: 1989 Haut-Brion and 1990 Latour. There are magnums of 1990 Margaux, and bottles of the insiders pick: 1983 Margaux. Pétrus is the main representative of the Right Bank, with 1971s, 1998s, and even 1982s! The Claret is certainly the highlight here, but the collection rounds out with white Bordeaux, Yquem, and even some wines from California (Screaming Eagle, of course) and Spain (Único, of course). Bid with confidence on these lots, whether your paddles goes up on the mag of 1961 La Mission or the 2005 Ausone, there is something for everyone in the Anchor Collection. 40 Zachys tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com

It is, without a doubt, one of the greatest wine estates in the world. While its history goes well back to the fourteenth century, Latour began to be clearly defined as one of the greatest wine estates in the world in the mid-nineteenth century, and amazingly, It has kept that position for the last 150 years. Their wines, which are known for their power, richness and longevity, are sought after by collectors and wine lovers throughout the world. As Robert M. Parker says of Château Latour in The World s Greatest Wine Estates, The wine produced here has been an impeccable model of consistent excellence, in great, mediocre, and poor vintages. For that reason, many have long considered Latour to be the Médoc s finest wine Latour remains one of the most concentrated, rich, tannic, and full-bodied wines in the world. In 2000, I had the wonderful opportunity to taste over twenty-five vintages of Château Latour, including fourteen wines older than 1961 and four from the nineteenth century. It was an evening I will never forget. The wines were so rich, alive and fresh. What an extraordinary experience it was to be able to taste the 1900 and the 1899 side by side and discuss the differences, or to argue whether the 1955 or the 1949 is showing better right now (at my table we all thought the 1955 had the slight edge). In the end we tasted Latour from a 125 year span and although there was a lot of discussion about which were the better wines, the final conclusion of everyone in the room was that, Latour makes some of greatest wines that any of us have ever tasted.

54 he Legendary SPECTACULAR EUROPEAN RARITIES & CALIFORNIA COLLECTIBLES from the LEGENDARY COLLECTION of TAWFIQ N. KHOURY Collection of wfiq N. Khoury signed from a private source Sold to benefit the university of San Diego (Lots ) zachys Zachys is honored once again to offer a remarkable selection of rare wines from the legendary wine collection of Tawfiq Khoury. Tawfiq has offered several tranches of his substantial wine collection through Zachys since 1997, when Zachys/Christie s hosted his extraordinary single owner sale that realized $3.5 million. The wine in that sale would bring five to ten times that amount in today s market! Now in his late eighties, Tawfiq along with his wife Richel continue to travel the world and share great bottles of wine they have collected over the last fifty years. As many bottles still remain, they once again take the opportunity to tighten up their collection by parting with bottles that are duplicates or that they are unlikely to have time to enjoy. The French wines offered from the Khoury Collection on this occasion feature three classic themes: large format Bordeaux from 1937 through 1995, magnums of thirty-five to fifty year old Champagne, and twenty-six vintages of Yquem from 1908 through Among the Bordeaux the most valuable lot is a beautiful OWC of Pétrus 1982 in magnum. Tawfiq purchased multiple grand formats of Mouton 1982, and has chosen to offer two jeroboams and an imperial in this sale. Leading the parade of important magnums is a fine example of Mouton 1945, followed by Latour from the 1937, 1957, 1966 vintages, and one of my favorite 1966 s, Chateau Palmer. Perusing the rest of the Bordeaux, one can see that Tawfiq, well advised at the outset by Michael Broadbent and following his own superb palate, collected Bordeaux that remain among the most highly regarded of all time: Haut-Brion 1982 (in imperial), Margaux 1983 (also in imperial), Mouton 1986 (in double magnum), and La Mission Haut-Brion 1982 (in jeroboam). Tawfiq also purchased a tremendous quantity of First Growths in large formats from the 1969, 1972, and 1973 vintages to celebrate the birth years of his three children. A few of those remaining are included in this sale. For those who are passionate about collecting old wine fifty years and older Yquem has to be one of the safest bets. How often does one encounter a bad bottle of Yquem? Vintages less affected by botrytis such as 1961 and 1966 are demi-sec but still enjoyable (and the best matches for foie gras!); those from the warmest years are massively sweet and increasingly dark with age the 1893, 1921, 1929, 1937, 1959 and need to appear solo on stage. Other vintages including 1945, 1949, 1953, and 1967 in my experience display a wonderful tension between sweetness and acidity and remain in miraculous balance. Beginning in the 1970s Tawfiq Khoury collected enormous quantities of old Yquems, back to the 19th Century. Witness the nine bottles of 1938 Yquem, pulled from an OWC who still has that? A highly recommended purchase for a seventy-nine year old wine lover with an important birthday approaching. Collectors building verticals of Yquem will have a shot at nineteen vintages between 1920 and 1950, including the very rarely seen There are many opportunities to honor thy father with purchases of bottles from other rare vintages. There is no better way to drink older Champagne than in magnum Krug Collection, Cristal, and Dom Pérignon? I d call them middle aged, since they were current vintages when I started drinking wine, but they are now rarer than hen s teeth. If you prefer something younger, bid for the three-magnum packs of Dom Pérignon Rosé 1982, a legendary Champagne. There are so many cherries here, too many to mention, yet not be missed, include a magnum of Montrachet DRC 1983, an extremely rare bottle of Ygrec 1959, the first vintage produced, Haut-Brion Blanc from the massive 1937 white Bordeaux vintage, 1985 Sassicaia, Graham s 1945 my word! Most important of all is a very rare and nearly perfect Jeroboam of La Tâche With its intense fruit, great warmth, and earthy texture, it is for me the ne plus ultra of older DRC. Tawfiq s keen eye for quality also took in his adopted state California. Selective and loyal, Tawfiq purchased the classics in the 1970s and 1980s Heitz, Beaulieu, Mondavi--and more recently, Colgin and Harlan up to current vintages. Highlights of wines from the old guard are two of the greatest vintages of Heitz Martha s Vineyard 1974 (in magnum) and 1969, and from the new guard Harlan from 1994 to present and a deep offering of Colgin from the first vintage 1992 through Bid with confidence. For provenance, selection, depth, and range of classic wines, there are few the equal of the Collection of Tawfiq N. Khoury. -Fritz Hatton 60 Zachys tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com

55 A note on provenance from tawfiq N. Khoury The auction world has changed in recent years, in response to many things: the growth of the international market, a renewed interest in fine wine, the scourge of counterfeits, and even Ponzi schemes and disreputable sources. Zachys policies on all of these fronts are commendable, and buyers and consignors alike should be reassured. I, however, remember a more innocent era, when I could buy at nearly any auction, either in London or in the USA, with confidence. I cared more about the wine than the condition of the label, or the name of the consignor (with certain exceptions: Glamis Castle and the Duke of Wellington come to mind). Ditto with the fill levels. I recall one particularly hilarious episode, when I bought a 19th-century bottle of Bordeaux at auction. It arrived exactly half full. I wrote to the London-based auction house, who refunded me half of the price I paid, and the wine drank beautifully. Go figure! I bought the majority of my collection from Christie s and Sotheby s auctions from 1975 to I bought to drink and to share with my friends. As I drank through my collection, I replenished by purchasing more at London and USA auctions. Most of the wines from the 80s were purchased, upon release, from reputable London merchants like Farr Vintners, Seckford and Peter Wylie. In many cases, it s impossible to state how a specific bottle arrived in my collection. I acquired numerous great wines from different reputable sources over a period of decades. I consumed many of them, so I m unable to specifically state that X bottle came from Y auction on Z date. Keeping track of this sort of thing was never a major priority of mine when I began collection 50 years ago. Drinking the best bottles was my focus! In some cases, the may offer more definitive information than I can. There is, for example, a case 82 Pétrus magnums with sale markings on it. I acquired dozens of cases of this wine at Christie s London 9/18/86 auction, Sotheby s 5/24/85 auction, as well as other wine auctions. Imperials and jeroboams of 1982 and 1983 Bordeaux were purchased from Farr Vintners, or Christie s London 1986 auctions. Some were also purchased from Chicago Wine Company on 3/17/86 as well as other English merchants. Old bottles become like old friends, hard to part with. Many bottles and magnums of 1945 Mouton were purchased at London auctions in 1977 and 1979, even more at Sotheby s and Christie s 1984 auctions, consolidated and shipped by Whitwham on 3/27/84. Additional bottles were bought at a Christie s 1/12/83 auction. Old Madeira and Yquem came from the same sources, many from the Christie s 3/12/86 auction and October 1990 auctions. Christie s 3/25/91 and May 1993 auctions, and Sotheby s 3/28/86 auction were also sources for me. Again, it is impossible to say that any one consigned bottle came from any one of the above sources. In all cases I have owned, and still own, many bottles of the same brand and vintage. The point, however, is this: I ve done my best to be meticulous in my collecting, because as I mentioned, these bottles were always meant for the table, not for the auction block. If you have any specific questions, be in touch with Zachys, they will be in touch with me, and I will do my best to provide an answer. Old bottles become like old friends, hard to part with. No matter the advancing age, the number of those still remaining, and the limited time still left to enjoy them, bidding farewell is painful still. The proceeds from this consignment will go to the excellent University of San Diego to fund a building to be named after a good man who has served the University and the San Diego Community passionately and compassionately over decades. Personally, he has been our family s counselor, moral compass, and unfailing supporter through good and bad times. The cause makes the parting not only tolerable, but a small tribute to a wonderful human being and a treasured University. All wines in this offering have been temperature-controlled since purchase in my two substantial home wine cellars, and in professional wine storage. -Tawfiq Khoury, July 3, 2017 Zachys tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com 61

69 The Legendary Collection of Tawfiq N. Khoury Consigned from a private source zachys CALIFORNIA Colgin Colgin Cellars was founded in 1992 by Ann Barry Colgin, an expert on fine art whose exposure to fine wine through that rarified world spurred her to create her own world-class wines. With vineyard management by David Abreu and winemaking by Helen Turley, the wine was immediately recognized as a new superstar in Napa, with the debut vintage scored 96 points by Robert Parker. Since then, he has awarded a perfect score of 100 points to three Colgin wines. Colgin s reputation was originally founded on their Herb Lamb Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, made from 1992 to While that is no longer in the portfolio, Colgin today produces wines from two estate-owned sites and from vineyards owned and managed by Napa legend David Abreu. Two estate-grown single-varietal wines are produced, a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Tychson Hill Vineyard and a Syrah from the IX Vineyard. The other two wines in the portfolio are Bordeaux blends, the estategrown IX Vineyard Red and Cariad, from Abreu s vineyards.

75 An Impressive Selection from the Eminent Collector, Dr. Eugene Wong Part II (Lots ) Zachys first offering from this collection was in We re delighted to present Part II, now, from this generous consignor a man who recently shared 74 Heitz Martha s Vineyard ( I can still taste it -JP) and an excellent magnum of 85 Krug ( it was in perfect condition and the best example I have ever had of this vintage from Krug -JP) with Zachys very own Jamie Pollack. First, a reminder about Dr. Wong, the collector. For as long as he can remember, Dr. Wong (or Gene to his friends), has had a love affair with fine food. This passion led him to the best restaurants around the world, as he sought to taste the work of top chefs. Wine was a natural next step, as it is for so many. As his friends in the wine world grew, his palate refined and his collection grew, first filling his magnificent custom-built temperature- and humidity-controlled home cellar and then numerous professional storage units. Dr. Wong is a devoted member of The Bacchus Society of America and does his part for this philanthropic organization dedicated to promoting the enjoyment and understanding of wines, gourmet food, travel and entertainment. Meticulous about the provenance of the wines in his collection, Dr. Wong only bought from the best of sources. Wines were purchased both as futures and on release from fine wine merchants, including Zachys, as well as from the mailing lists of the best Cult California producers. Much of Dr. Wong s consignment is top Bordeaux: whether d-mags of the famous 75 La Mission, or bottles of 89 Haut-Brion, 90 Pétrus, or the legendary 67 Yquem. Dr. Wong s Burgundy is just as strong, with a connoisseur s collection of rare producers: 1985 Engel Clos Vougeot (impossible to find), a meth of 1988 La Tâche, two bottles of 1982 Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux from Jayer, and 1985 Les Brûlées from Méo-Camuzet the winemaker s favorite wine.

94 Magnificent Wines from the Cellar of a Prominent American Collector Part 2 (Lots ) Zachys offered the first selection from this cellar in 2012 and now, we are sad to report, that the consignor has since passed away. Zachys is delighted to be able to help his estate bring his collection to other collectors who share his lifelong passion. A compelling offering of the best wines in the world, the original offering was only a small slice of the consignor s 12,000 bottle collection. The turning point in the collecting life of this consignor happened nearly two decades ago when he met one of the foremost wine collectors in the world with whom he began to taste the most esteemed wines. Becoming enamored with robust Bordeaux, that portion of his collection flourished. As a member of wine connoisseur clubs and partaking in many wine and culinary dinners, his palate and cellar grew, with Bordeaux, his first love, always at the core Latour, 1989 Haut-Brion, 1961 and 1990 Margaux are just a few of the numerous highlights from the Bordeaux section of this consignment. The Burgundy is just as impressive, with DRC in wide supply, as well as the wonderful wines of Leroy, Roumier, Coche-Dury, Ramonet, Leflaive, and more. A large vertical of Bryant Family and other CA cults rounds out the offering. 100 Zachys tel fax bid@zachys.com zachys.com

I would postulate that at least one of the ingredients is that it should be consistent hierarchically; that the lesser wines should be ripe, rich, balanced and full of fruit; that one should be able to pick with confidence among the ranks of the bourgeois, the petits châteaux, and in the satellite appellations. Bordeaux has had four such great years in the last thirty: 1970, 1982, 1990 and, now In these vintages not only are there great wines at the top of the hierarchy, not only is the vintage a success across the whole region, from St Émilion and Pomerol to Pauillac and St Julien, but there are delicious examples to be found in the lesser areas such as Côtes de Bourg, Lalande-de-Pomerol, Fronsac, Montagne-St-Émilion and Côtes de Castillon, as well as in the Médoc north of St Estèphe... There is, of course, another way of looking at the proposition. Are the top 2000s going to be as good as the top 1990s, 1982s or 1961s? Here the question is moot, the response is almost impossible. We won t really be able to answer until 2000s are themselves mature. And we still need to wait for the 1990s to reach their peak. My gut feeling is that nothing will surpass the finest 1961s. They seem to be unique. But I am perfectly happy to agree that 2000, at its best, is as good as 1982 and the interest in the vintage was huge. Never has a vintage sold out so fast. The fruit was healthy. It was concentrated. Alcohol levels, and perhaps surprisingly, acidity levels as well, were high. The skins were thick. The potential tannins very high. All the elements were in place for a great red wine vintage... across Bordeaux both geographically and hierarchically, we have wines of very good colour, considerable but at present largely hidden ripe tannins, deliciously concentrated, very pure, intense fruit and very good acidity. The wines have volume, dimension, class and complexity. There are many châteaux which make wine considerably better than they had done a decade earlier. Overall the selections have been severe. A much smaller proportion of the total has been declared as grand vin than in similar years a decade or more ago. So in many cases we have a better result than has ever been achieved before. Others have made the best wine since Overall it was a splendid vintage.

104 CALIFORNIA Bryant Family Vineyard The story of Bryant Family Vineyard is a classic American tale of adventure, imagination, and, ultimately, brilliant success. In an April 2000 article Wine Spectator chronicled the founding of this celebrated producer: In 1985, [Don and Barbara Bryant] bought some property on Pritchard Hill, east of St Helena, to build a home. But Bryant, a wine lover with a collection of 4,000 bottles from France and California, wanted to grow grapes. He made inquiries and was told that the finest nearby vineyard happened to be adjacent to his property. Although the 10-acre site was run-down, it had previously produced outstanding fruit that was used by Chappellet in the 1970s. The home was never built. After buying the vineyard, Bryant sold the grapes to a producer with the understanding that the wines would have a vineyard designation. Then, Bryant says, he learned that the producer had no intention of honoring their agreement. I figured if I m having all the hassles, I might as well make the wine myself, he says. What makes Bryant stand out from its peers? Robert Parker proposed that a key feature of a great wine is its ability to offer a singular personality ; that is, a wine s ability to stand far above the norm in both typical and exceptional vintages defining itself with its unique aromatic, flavor, and textual qualities. Among classic examples of great wines that exhibit these features, such as 1982 Château Mouton Rothschild and 1996 Château Lafite Rothschild, Parker places Bryant s 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon. In the 1999 edition of Parker s Wine Buyer s Guide Bryant Family Vineyard ranked among the very best California producers of Cabernet, Merlot, or Blends, earning a rating of outstanding and five stars.

Their first bulk winery was built in 1915, and after the end of Prohibition the Wagners purchased 73 acres of prime Rutherford land to grow grapes for sale and home winemaking. In 1972, Charlie, his wife Lorna and their son Chuck founded Caymus Vineyards, named for the original Mexican name of the Rutherford area, Rancho Caymus. Their first vintage included 240 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon, and by 1975 they were so pleased with the quality of the fruit from their vineyards that they chose the best for extended barrel aging and gave it the name Special Selection. This cuvée is widely regarded as one of the best Napa Cabernets and is the only wine twice to be awarded the title of Wine Spectator s Wine of the Year. Today, the winery remains in family hands, with Chuck Wagner in charge of all winemaking and viticulture.

112 AustRALIA Penfolds Grange Penfolds first vineyard was established in 1844 at Magill, South Australia, by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold. For over 100 years, Penfolds, like most Australian wineries, produced mostly fortified wines and brandies. In 1950, Penfolds chief winemaker, Max Schubert, visited Europe, primarily to study sherry production in Spain. However, the last leg of the trip was a stop in Bordeaux where he was served forty plus year old examples of the great growths of the region. Being awed by the longevity of these unfortified reds, Shubert sought to produce a wine in Australia endowed with the same long-lived potential as the greats of Bordeaux. On his return to Australia he instituted at Penfolds many of the winemaking techniques he had seen in Bordeaux. Shubert sought greater control over the fermentation process than was typical in Australian wineries at the time. He was, however, limited by Australia s lack of Bordeaux grape varietals. Thus, Schubert decided to base his wine on the Shiraz grape, which was already grown in abundance all over South Australia. The early vintages of this experimental wine were made from Shiraz grapes grown at Magill and Morphett Vale near Adelaide. The wine was aged in new American oak for one year, lending an exotic wood character to match the rich Shiraz fruit. The fulfillment of Shubert s goal became known as Penfolds Grange Hermitage (and after the 1989 vintage simply as Penfolds Grange). The 1952 vintage was Schubert s first commercial vintage. Critics rejected early vintages in their youth for tasting like dry port and Schubert was ordered by the Penfolds Company to stop production in However, he continued making wine in secret for the vintages of 1957, 1958 and 1959 using no oak. In 1960 one of the Company s board members went back to taste the original Granges. At eight or nine years old with a little maturity the 1951, 1952 and 1953 were finally opening up, fruit emerging with the tannins softening, enhanced by the sweetness of the oak. The wines were now showing great promise, the quality finally being recognized and Penfolds resumed commercial production. At that point, Max Schubert and Grange ushered in the modern age of Australian wine. The 1955 vintage of Grange won a gold medal at the Sydney Wine Show in 1962, and since numerous vintages have won 126 gold, seventy-six silver and forty-two bronze medals, plus twenty-eight trophies and seven championship awards at various competitions in Australia and abroad.

120 Calling Large Format Lovers (Lots ) This mailing-list collection of large-format Californian wines comes to Zachys from a longtime friend and repeat consignor. The highlight here is the vertical of Screaming Eagle magnums, but every lot will undoubtedly make its way to the wish list of every Cabernet collector. Hundred Acre, Bryant, Harlan, Scarecrow, Colgin, and the relative newcomer Dana Estates. All of the wines in this offering were purchased from the respective wineries and removed from home temperature-controlled storage by Zachys specialists for this auction. CALIFORNIA Hundred Acre Proprietor Jayson Woodbridge makes some of the most unique, deeply personal wines in. Very late harvests and minimal intervention in the cellar, including no rackings until bottling, are just some of the choices that inform these wines. Woodbridge s vineyards are in St Helena (Kayli Morgan), the lower part of Howell Mountain (Ark) and Calistoga (Few and Far Between). Woodbridge is less reliant on outside consultants than many of his colleagues, so the wines bear very specific signatures that are unlike those of other wines being made in the Valley. The late harvests give the wines super-ripe fruit that can at times veer towards sweetness, but it is the extreme silkiness and finesse of the tannins that differentiates these wines. Woodbridge believes wines must be ready to go upon release and frowns upon decanting or advance aeration, which he doesn t think should be necessary. As outstanding as these wines can be upon release, the reality is that the wines have also proven to age exceptionally well. Robert Parker The Wine Advocate Hundred Acre Ark Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 two individual s "At the same time, these wines have a way of developing notable complexity in bottle. There is a level of intensity matched by expressive inner perfume that is compelling " WA 12/ magnums (1.5L) per lot US$ Hundred Acre Few and Far Between Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 individual s "...gives the wine a multidimensional aromatic display of forest floor, blueberries, mulberries, black raspberries, plums, black currants and a wet rock-like minerality.
