California Cult Wines
California cult wines refers to any of the California wines "typically but not exclusively Napa Valley Cabernets" for which collectors, investors and highly enthusiastic consumers will pay very high prices. The producers of such wines include Araujo, Colgin Cellars, Dominus Estate, Grace Family Vineyards, Harlan Estate, Opus One, Screaming Eagle, and Sine Qua Non.
These wines are generally very expensive and are limited production (often fewer than 600 cases per year) and can command several times their "release price" upon release.
