Up for auction are a pair of striking red wines that deliver contrasting styles and origins — ideal for comparative tasting or building a diverse red-wine collection.

Bottle 1: A 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from the sun-drenched heart of the Paso Robles region in California. Expect bold black-fruit intensity—think wild blackberry and currant—lifted by touches of cocoa, graphite and firm, dust-like tannins. 

Bottle 2: A 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Pays d’Oc IGP in southern France. Here, elegance and Mediterranean influence prevail: dark currant, a hint of bittersweet chocolate, and subtle herbal earthiness combine in a well-balanced, medium-to-full bodied expression with a clean finish.

 Perfect for wine lovers, collectors or as a centerpiece at a tasting event.
