Auction item includes one 750 ml 2007 Daou Celestus.

(60% Syrah, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot; 18 months in French oak barrels; 13.7% alcohol;  released June, 2009)
 
The 2007 DAOU Celestus is a perfect example of what happens when the Rhone and the Bordeaux blends come together to form complex flavors that create a masterpiece.  The wine has plenty of black fruit, licorice, mint and earth characteristics with great intensity, remarkable purity and a luscious velvety mouth feel with an excellent balance. The Petit Verdot addition helps create a strong mid palate to compensate for the harmony created between the Cabernet and the Syrah.
