The start of a new year has a way of sharpening decisions. This newly released collection comes from a private cellar built over decades and offered as its owner prepares for a move, releasing a thoughtful selection rather than relocating the entire cellar. Many of the California wines were purchased directly from the wineries, the French selections were chosen firsthand in Bordeaux, and a small parcel of mature Port from the early 1980s adds depth and history. Every bottle has been professionally stored throughout its life, collected with care, and released at the right moment.
