Marlane Melican

Courtesy of Martin Gold

Groth Vineyards is located in the Oakville Appellation in Napa Valley.
Tasting Notes:
94 points Wine Spectator: “Dark, rich and plush, with layers of mocha, coffee, currant and plum flavors that are complex and concentrated, finishing with ripe, fleshy tannins and long, complex aftertaste. A very impressive wine that’s youthful and impeccably balanced.”
Later Reserve 3 liter format bottles with a lower Wine Spectator rating are on the market now for more than $750. It is doubtful this bottle could even be found outside of a private collection. A truly special offering.

Restrictions: Must reach reserve price


504. Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection $385
Karen Sabath

Closed

Courtesy of James and Jean Prusko

CAYMUS Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Special Selection 2008
Beautifully crafted, rich, intense and powerful, yet supple, graceful and
polished, offering a generous core of spicy blackberry, black licorice, wild
berry and light cedary notes. Full-bodied and expressive, this is both
approachable now and sure to improve for several years. Drink now through 2020. 15,618 cases made.


505. 2004 Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon $65
Albert Stickney

Closed

Polished but assertive, this wine delivers its delicious impact in a velvet glove. The wine’s deep, dark color signals the density of its flavors and opulent texture. In the nose, ripe black fruit aromas merge with hints of cedar, black licorice and a pinch of nutmeg and clove. In the mouth, the wine has a silky entry. Dense, fleshy flavors of blackberry, black plum and cassis envelop the mid-palate, enhanced by elegantly powerful tannins. The rich finish lasts forever. A freshly youthful wine with the confident authority that comes from excellent vineyard sources and superlative winemaking.

601. Original Oil Painting of CCNW $700
Sheryl Bernhard

Closed

Courtesy of Christopher Magidini

Christopher Magadini’s style could be called Contemporary Impressionism although the pastoral quality of his work recalls the naturalism of 19th Century American Landscape Painting. In all of his oils, Mr. Magadini takes full advantage of the medium’s wonderful qualities. No matter the size, 4”x 6” up to 30” by 40”, this work exhibits a rich painterly surface enhanced by masterful brushwork. His stated goal of “capturing the illusion of space and form while retaining a beautiful and interesting surface” is revealed in these paintings.
