Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2009 Futo "OV" Oakville Bordeaux Blend (93RP, 92WS). Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Warm, resonant hints of tobacco, smoke and cinnamon lead to layers of dark-toned red fruits in the 2009 OV. A rich, seductive wine, the 2009 impresses for its sensual, layered fruit and caressing finish. This voluptuous Cabernet Sauvignon should continue to drink well for at least another decade. Even though there is plenty of early appeal, the formidable tannins should allow the 2009 to develop beautifully in bottle. The 2009 is a shockingly good wine for the money and one of the best – if not the best – second label readers will come across. (AG)" (12/2012)

Notably elegant, rich and appealing, with spicy ripe plum and black cherry flavors, turning supple and polished, long and persistent. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Futo's second label is less opulent than its flagship bottling. (JL)
