Anchor Cellar
Based in Irvine and stored professionally, this cellar was assembled over decades by a single owner with deep winery relationships. This iconic collection brings together a wide and rewarding range of wines, from legendary Napa producers like Bond, Dunn and more to standout international classics like Pontet Canet and Dom Perignon.
Today's Offer
The start of a new year brings clarity, and this newly released private cellar offers a thoughtful way to begin. As the owner prepares for a move, a carefully chosen selection has been released, featuring California wines purchased directly from wineries, French bottles acquired firsthand in Bordeaux, and a small parcel of mature Port dating back to the early 1980s. Professionally stored throughout their lives, these wines offer collectors a rare opportunity to build with intention and start the year strong.
