The significance of a construction on-site winery enhances the unique lifestyle • Premiere Wine Property in the Napa Valley of the wine country

ANALYSIS Currently the South Whitehall Lane marketing is exemplary in quality. However, our dedicated team intends to take a market approach that will significantly emphasize the value, importance and quality of such a premium vineyard and property location.

Additionally, the present marketing materials significantly under-emphasize the value. The importance, and quality of the vineyard, its impressive location and the already permitted winery potential will be highlighted and promoted.

Sheer magnitude of the property plus the seller’s desire for a “Stealth Marketing Approach� presentation makes this property unsuitable for a single listing agent approach. The range and breadth of the network reach necessary to properly market this privately makes it under served by a single agent attempting it on their own.

NAPA VALLEY

Napa Valley is known for its world-renowned fine wines, epicurean experiences, luxurious accommodations and a premier destination for the “good life.” The Rutherford wine region, ranks among the very finest Napa Valley AVA’s. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most desirable planted varietal in Rutherford.

The present price of the fruit is substantially undervalued. Vineyard production must be marketed to showcase its’ potential. This income stream could reduce costs making the property much more attractive to a buyer.

MARKETING PRIVACY IS THE BIGGEST LUXURY

PROPOSAL Napa Valley life on this scale is about living and entertaining among the vineyards.

It is about the physical beauty of the valley and the connection between wine and the luxury lifestyle. It is about people and living well. It is an emotional connection and it is best served by an emphasis on people and their lifestyle stories.

This property is an extremely limited edition that probably cannot be reproduced in Napa Valley, certainly not in a similar location. Much of this uniqueness is due to the vineyard and its location.

This is a critical component of the property and is arguably more unique than the house itself. It must be heavily emphasized in the presentation of the property.

Elements to feature specifically include: • The vineyard details including the Rutherford valley floor location (terrior) • The permitted winery and site location • The quality and limited availability of the fruit. Especially the enormous potential for the ever increasing value and reputation it brings to the new owner.

MARKETING STEALTH MARKETING APPROACH RARE PROPERTIES WHERE PRIVACY IS PERHAPS THE BIGGEST LUXURY. Off-market sales are on the rise among the wealthiest buyers and sellers of U.S. real estate particularly given the strength of the market. This property is sophisticated and state of the art. The marketing should be based on a lifestyle encompassing those attributes.

• Quality production video highlighting the lifestyle features of the property • Discussion of Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon from fro the valley floor is matchless in value and prestige • Importance of quality vineyard management • Limited availability of land not to mention the strict building and agricultural restrictions making this property nearly impossible to duplicate Emphasizing the location, income and ultra-premium future “cult” winery potential directed towards some of the following team connections: • • • •

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY

WARREN BUFFETT Known as the “Oracle of Omaha,” Warren Buffett is an investment guru and one of the richest and most respected businessmen in the world. Born in Nebraska in 1930, Warren Buffett demonstrated keen business abilities at a young age. He formed Buffett Partnership Ltd. in 1956, and by 1965 he had assumed control of Berkshire Hathaway. Overseeing the growth of a conglomerate with holdings in the media, insurance, energy and food and beverage industries, Buffett became one of the world’s richest men and a celebrated philanthropist.

Business Empire: Businessman and investor. Born Warren Edward Buffett on August 30, 1930, in Omaha, Nebraska.

Buffett’s father, Howard, worked as stockbroker and served as a U.S. congressman. His mother, Leila Stahl Buffett, was a homemaker. Buffett was the second of three children and the only boy.

At 11 years old he made his first investment, buying three shares of Cities Service Preferred at $38 per share. The stock quickly dropped to only $27, but Buffett held on tenaciously until they reached $40. He sold his shares at a small profit, but regretted the decision when Cities Service shot up to nearly $200 a share. He later cited this experience as an early lesson in patience in investing.

Despite the success of Buffett Partnership, its founder dissolved the firm in 1969 to focus on the development of Berkshire Hathaway. He phased out its textile manufacturing division, instead expanding the company by buying assets in media (The Washington Post), insurance (GEICO) and oil (Exxon). Immensely successful, the “Oracle of Omaha” even managed to spin seemingly poor investments into gold, most notably with his purchase of scandal plagued Salomon Brothers in 1987.

Following Berkshire Hathaway’s significant investment in Coca-Cola, Buffett became director of the company from 1989 until 2006. He has also served as director of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings, Graham Holdings Company and The Gillette Company.
