“Black by Black” was inspired by arguably the top wine collector in the world, Tom Black, and the L.A. TIMES 2001 Winemaker of the Year, Jim Clendenen from Au Bon Climat Winery.   The winemaker selected only the finest grapes from their 300 acre ranch in Santa Barbara County to create a special meritage wine that has won several blind tastings. This wine is a combination of 40% California Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 20% Petit Verdot to produce a bold and balanced red wine.  This wine is incredibly rare, as only 50 cases were produced, and is presently available to the public only at charity auctions.
 
Regular bottles (750ml) can be cellared for another 8 years and large format bottles for another 10 years, but the wine is drinking great now!
 
Magnums are valued at 200-400 dollars
Double Magnums are valued at 500-800 dollars
