Six 93+ Pointers With The "Numbers" That Could Place Them in the Top 25 of the Wine Spectator's List
The release of the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2011 is just around the corner. We’ve been studying the price and production figures of the Spectator's highest scoring wines, to predict which wines will make the cut, so we can be sure to have a wide selection in stock for you. The real challenge is to find those wines that will be at the very top of the list, where the real excitement is. Today’s Top 25 Picks Six Pack Sampler contains six wines that based on score, production, and price, we think can be in the rarified air at the head of the list. We only have 24 of these samplers available, with a limit of one per customer. Due to the scarcity of the Top 25 Picks Six Pack Sampler, this is an online offer only, the samplers are not available in our stores.
This great Top 25 Picks Six Pack Sampler has two top 2006 Brunellos rated 97 and 96 points, a Zinfandel from Sonoma with 95 points, a Napa Cab at 94 points, and a pair of 93 pointers, one a Shiraz from Australia and the other from Bierzo in Spain. Even if we're wrong about the Wine Spectator's list, you'll still have a great assortment of outstanding wines!
The regular price for the six wines in the Top 25 Picks Six Pack Sampler is $287.97 and our price today for these highly sought after beauties is just $229.99. That's a savings of nearly $60, PLUS the shipping is free!
This sampler contains one bottle each of:
2006 La Serena Brunello di Montalcino - Wine Spectator 97 Points
"Beautifully perfumed, this red features rose, peony, black currant, tar and licorice aromas and flavors. Ripe and dense, with well-integrated tannins and acidity that funnel the fruit and savory notes into a long aftertaste. Complex and intense. Best from 2013 through 2026."-BS
2006 Campogiovanni Brunello di Montalcino - Wine Spectator 96 Points
"Licorice, sweet spices, toast, smoke and sanguine aromas and flavors envelop a kernel of raspberry in this intense, extroverted red, which is complex, focused and structured, with an expansive finish. There's fine potential, but needs time. Best from 2014 through 2027."-BS
2009 Seghesio "Home Ranch" Zinfandel - Wine Spectator 95 Points
"A Zinfandel that has it all—rich, ripe flavors, good structure and acidity, and lots of personality. Offers aromas of cherry pie and licorice that lead to complex flavors of huckleberry, toasty vanilla and smoky cracked pepper. Drink now through 2017."-TF
2008 Robert Mondavi "Oakville" Cabernet Sauvignon - Wine Spectator 94 Points
"A supple, graceful, yet potent and engaging young Cabernet, the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. Shows intense, minty bay leaf and dried currant and berry flavors that unfold gracefully, picking up a nice minerally edge as well as tannins that are firm yet graceful and refined. Drink now through 2020."-JL
2009 Two Hands "Gnarly Dudes" Shiraz - Wine Spectator 93 Points
"Supple, fleshy, silky and generous with its fresh-tasting plum, blueberry and currant fruit, this red picks up welcome hints of roast meat and spice as the finish lingers easily. Shows intensity, integrity and length. Drink now through 2020."-HS
2009 José Palacios "Petalos" Bierzo - Wine Spectator 93 Points
"This polished red shows density and harmony, delivering complex, well-integrated flavors of mineral, wild berry, fresh herbs and smoke. Not showy, but has character. Drink now through 2018."-TM
