Bid to win THREE (3) bottles of rare, vintage wines from two of California's most iconic vineyards:

Chateau Montelena and Jordan.

The lucky wine lover who wins this package will receive:

  • Two (2) bottles of 2013 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley Sonoma
  • One (1) bottle of 1986 Chateau Montelena The Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

The 92 rated 2013 Jordan Cabernet has been described as follows by Wine Enthusiast:

"This food-friendly wine is most remarkable for its structure and gracefulness on the palate. Herbal on the entry, it offers grip and elegance within sturdy elongated tannins, a note of brushy cedar and sage and integrated French oak. This wine offers intense aromas of cassis, black currants, blackberries and ripe cherries with a lovely floral note. The palate is rich and seductive, exuding blackberries and cassis interwoven seamlessly with fine tannins from new French oak barrels. A collectible vintage to be enjoyed now or cellared through 2032."

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]."

Details:

  • Winner receives 3 bottles of wine as described above.
  • Winner must be local for pick-up or delivery as wine cannot be shipped.
