Enjoy these two fine and exclusive wines from Napa Valley. In fact, one of these wines is sold out at every retailer due to overwhelming demand (hint: it's The Mascot). Total package value is $285 and includes:

  1. The Mascot 2016 Napa Valley Red Blend. Valued at $150. Donated by Molly Brooks/Meritage Wine Market.

    According to Vivino, this wine is among the top 1% of all wines in the world. Drink between 2022-2035.

    On Cellar Tracker, AGELVIS rates this wine 96 points and notes: "Four hour decant. Very very deep magenta color. Intense black cherry, cinnamon, black walnut, plum, flower petals, cacao, and subtle fennel and lime rind on the nose. Dry, velvety, spicy palate, with vibrant, tongue coating acidity. Firm tannins on the long finish...My wife would have given this 97 points and I would have given 95 points, so the score is a compromise. It's lighter on its feet and redder fruited than I prefer. Nonetheless, I clearly enjoyed it."

  2. 2016 Di Costanzo Farella Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Napa Valley. Retail value is $135. Donated by Kogod Wine Merchant.

    95 points by Vinous, "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard is just as magnificent from bottle as it was from barrel. Vertical and towering in feel, the 2016 has so much to offer. In this tasting, the 2016 reminds me of the 2013, but with more fruit slightly friendlier tannins, both of which make it a real pleasure to taste, even in the early going. All of the savory and mineral character that makes Farella such a distinctive site runs through this vivid, super-expressive Cabernet. Don't miss it."-Antonio Galloni

    95 points by Wine Enthusiast, "From a fantastic vintage, vineyard and winemaker, this small-production offering sings in cedar, pencil shavings and dried herb de Provence. Dusty mineral components ride beneath a core of black currant and olive, the tannin and oak profile measured and well-integrated, leaving ample room for classic elegance and structure to speak."-Virginie Boone
