Sourced from California vineyards, Mark West Pinot Noir is a widely popular, medium-bodied red wine known for delivering accessible quality under $15. Guided by the philosophy of "Pinot for the People," the 2024 Cellar Select vintage offers an approachable, fruit-forward profile, opening with rich aromas of black cherry, mocha, vanilla, and sweet caramel.

His practice revolves around the "art of the encounter," emphasizing the subtle dynamic between raw materials—such as uncarved stones and raw steel plates—and the environment and the viewer around them. Rather than imposing form, Ufan arranges minimalist elements to illuminate the relationship between presence, space, and perception.

In a bold reimagining of the iconic fragrance, Dior Perfume Creative Director Francis Kurkdjian presents Dior Sauvage Extrait, an extraordinarily dense and powerful men’s fragrance macerated for 42 days to achieve unprecedented longevity. Centered around traceably sourced Vietnamese oud with rich leather and animalic accents, the composition balances deep Indonesian patchouli against creamy Madagascan vetiver and Virginia cedarwood, all offset by a vibrant top accord of fresh bergamot and Provencal lavender.
