Answer 1

KENWOOD VINEYARDS Artist Series is a special treat. After more than two decades, the Artist's Series Cabernet Sauvignon shows exceptionally the marriage of fine wine and a fine label. The artistry displayed within the bottle is enhanced by that on the outside. Yet Kenwood Vineyards and Winemaker Mike Lee have always seen the Artist Series Collection as a work in progress, with each vintage a unique opportunity to excel. Drawing primarily on hillside vineyards in the Mayacamas Mountains, Mike Lee meticulously crafts each Cabernet Sauvignon to be an ultimate expression of the vintner’s art. Over the years, the Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon has evolved in style, but never wavered in quality; it consistently ranks among California’s very best. The Artist Series originated in 1978--the idea was to have a distinctive package showcasing outstanding art.. Local artist David Lance Goines created a beautiful naked woman on a vineyard slope for the first reserve-style 1975 Cabernet Sauvignon. It was rejected by the TABC as "obscene and indecent" so only 228 bottles with the "Naked Lady" label were permitted to leave the winery--launching the Artist Series in a big way. One of my favorites is the 1996 by Wayne Thiebaud. By the 1980s, Winemaker Mike Lee began moving in a new direction, blending wines so mouthfilling fruit was complemented by grace and complexity. French oak barrels replaced American ones. In the 1990s, a new aging regimen allowed the wines more time in the barrel and the bottle. These incremental changes had dramatic results--a Cabernet Sauvignon with richly layered fruit, integrated oak and polished texture, enjoyable in its youth but with plenty of potential for cellar development. KENWOOD VINEYARDS Artist Series 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon $75, the new release, is the 24th vintage in Kenwood Vineyard’s landmark series saluting the arts.

Answer 2

This label on the1975 is famous, only 90 cases of the wine was released (the label was re-released in 1997) and I think it may well be worth something. How much would depend on the market.

It might be worth talking to the winery in the first place

Answer 3

Well it is worth a bundle IF it has been stored properly and has not gone bad and turned to pure vinegar..... You won't know that until you open it, but I am assuming here that you are wanting to sell it. best of luck- i save wines as well............
