Many wines are good. Some wines are great. But only a handful of wines from each region are legendary; wines whose consistent brilliance puts them on everyone’s “must have” list. The Napa Valley reds in this lot are legendary, plain and simple.

Like all things legendary, demand for these Napa Valley wines far outstrips supply. The good news is they are here for the bidding. The even better news is all six bottles have developed beautifully over the years and can be fully appreciated now.
