"The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is one of the very best wines I have tasted here in recent years. Dark red cherries, mint, game, smoke, tobacco, and licorice are all deeply expressive in a mid-weight, very classic feeling Brunello long on class and personality. Big yet silky tannins frame the dramatic, intense finish. The Valdicava wines are always big, but the 2010 is a bit pulled back and striking." ~Vinous

THIS LOT INCLUDES:

• Three (3) bottles of 2010 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino Madonna del Piano Riserva (RP 95+, WS 97)

There's an unmistakable quality to the Cabernet you can grow on Howell Mountain. Situated 1,660 feet above Napa Valley, the location, soil profiles, and elevation of the Cold Springs Vineyard are enough to make even the most stoic wine geek swoon.

As you raise the glass to your lips, the nose is greeted by an intoxicating array of aromas reminiscent of a freshly baked mixed berry pie. Vibrant notes of red cherry, blackberry, boysenberry, and blueberry intertwine seamlessly, accompanied by a delicate bouquet of black peppercorn and dark cocoa. Subtle layers of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, mint, and fresh oregano lend an intricate depth, beckoning you to explore the complexities within.

THIS LOT INCLUDES:

• Three (3) bottles of 2019 Aloft Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is the best wine I have tasted yet from Somnium. Ample and resonant in feel, the 2019 packs a serious punch in both its fruit and tannin presence. Plum, leather, grilled herbs, tobacco, chocolate, and savory herbs all open with a bit of air. The 2019 is quite potent and savory, and yet all the elements are very nicely balanced." - Antonio Galloni

THIS LOT INCLUDES:

• 1.5L 2019 Somnium Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - signed by winemaker, Julian Fayard, and Proprietor, Danica Patrick (RP 95+, WS 92)
