Collection: *California, With a Serious Pedigree

This new pre-arrival selection captures California at two compelling stages: mature benchmarks with decades behind them and modern rarities built for the cellar ahead.

The Cabernet lineup reaches back to the 1990s, led by the extraordinary Joseph Phelps Insignia 1995, rated 98 points by Wine Advocate, alongside Pahlmeyer 1995, Diamond Creek Red Rock Terrace 1996 and 1999, Ridge Monte Bello 1999, and the 96-point Caymus Napa Valley 2002. These are established California names with the added appeal of bottle age already earned.

Then there is Kongsgaard. The selection includes Chardonnay and multiple vintages of the coveted The Judge, culminating in the 2021 The Judge Chardonnay, awarded 100 points by Vinous. Even more compelling for collectors, several vintages are available in 1.5L magnum, including the 100-point 2021.

For collectors who appreciate California wine with pedigree, scarcity and a meaningful vintage story, this is a pre-arrival worth exploring before it arrives.
