I love Hess, but: 1) The release price on this wine is $10/bottle; 2) Not sure if I would consider a 400% markup (even for an aged wine) to be a "low reserve;" 3) Robert Parker gave this wine an 86 - not exactly good for the vintage uality; and, 4) He said, "This wine was disappointing considering both the winery and the vintage."
Good luck with the auction, though. I'd wager you get no bids.

Cheapest bottle I found online at wineshops was 69.95 per, so I thought 40 was fair. This site your on, had it as 1 of the top ten wines of year? Did not check parkers ratings, I must admit!Thanks for the heads up though!
