The lucky wine lover who bids to win this item will receive

• 1 bottle of 1985 Heitz Bella Oaks &
• 1 bottle of 1986 Heitz Martha's Vineyard.

The 96 rated 1986 Chateau Montelena (by Wine Advocate) is described below:

"This great wine exhibits a black/purple color, a fabulous, sweet, pure, cassis-scented nose, massive body and richness, and total harmony among its components - fruit, wood, alcohol, acidity, and tannin. It is an extraordinary effort that appears to be a legitimate candidate for the 'wine of the vintage.' [Sweet on entry, then a bit simple in the middle, conveying a slightly jammy quality but good breadth and a touch of sweetness to its flavors of red fruits, warm rocks and ginger]."

The 92 rated 1985 Heitz Bella Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon (by Wine Spectator) is described as:

"Powerful and complex, with lots of ripe cherry, currant and spice aromas and flavors, hinting at chocolate and toast on the long, long finish. A big wine with plenty of grace and elegance. Approaching drinkability, but it has the structure and character 3,845 cases made."

Rated 86 by Wine Spectator, the 1986 Heitz Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has been described as:

"Deep garnet, a full color; lovely nose, floral and minty - a very fine nose; lush, melting, concentrated, with gorgeous fruit on the palate, a touch of spice, mint, this is lush and long, elegant yet fleshy, odalisque. Quite Château Margaux-like in its fruit, with a violet-trimmed aroma."
