The 2009 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon is available January 9th for $135/bottle. Parker gave this wine (99-100) from the barrel. Buy your entire allocation. The 2009 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon is expected to cost more on the secondary market. All Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon from 2002-2009 received either 99 or 100 points. The cheapest wine-searcher price for the 99 point wines (2008, 2006, and 2004) is $180 for 2008 and 2006, and $200 for the 2004. The 100 pointers from 2005 and 2007 cannot be obtained for less than $220. Patient buyers of the 100 point 2002 and 2003 vintages can close the deal for about $250. If you are buying 2009s to drink, buy them now.
If you are buying to flip, consider that you will pay for shipping – both to you and then to the auction house, plus sales tax and auction premium. A $135 bottle will break even if sold for $185 (including buyer’s premium). This is still worth it, if the sale will allow you to stay on the list. If you can afford to hold the wine for about 5 years, so much the better.
