California Only Online: Featuring A Private Library Collection of Screaming Eagle and Other Napa Classics

Sale Overview

Christie’s Wine Department in America is pleased to announce California Only Online: Featuring A Private Library Collection of Screaming Eagle and Other Napa Classics.

We are delighted to present our first California Only auction in over twenty years and our first ever to be held online in Los Angeles. This focused, expertly curated sale features our largest ever single owner collection of Screaming Eagle to appear at auction. Featuring over twenty vintages of this cult Napa classic including rare magnums and multiple vintages of The Flight, this collection represents a unique opportunity to purchase lots with impeccable provenance. All lots were purchased upon release from the property and stored in temperature and humidity controlled professional storage. Offered in original wooden cases unopened until inspection by Christie’s specialist team.

The sale also features an exquisite collection of Napa rarities including large formats of Groth Reserve Cabernet 1985 in both six and three liter and a rare case of magnums of Stags Leap Cask 23 1985 among the all-time highest rated wines from California. Also featured is an extraordinarily rare full case of Beaulieu Vineyards Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1968 purchased from The Magnificent Collection of Mr. Henry E Singleton at Christie’s Los Angeles in April 2000. This collection also includes bottles of Heitz Martha’s Vineyard from 1968 and 1969, alongside multiple vintages of Harlan Estate.

To conclude this outstanding auction, we feature ten vintages of Scarecrow offered in three-bottle original wooden cases and multiple vintages of Opus One. This unparalleled auction represents a unique opportunity to purchase both classic and cult wines from California with truly exceptional provenance.

Please note that Christie’s will only provide shipping services for this sale within the state of California. If you are not shipping within the state of CA, you may either collect your lots in person or arrange for your own licensed shipper.
