Highly-Rated Wines for the Wine Connoisseur | Value: $1,512

Take home two magnum bottles of single-vineyard pinot noir (rated 96 points out of 100 by Vinous) and one magnum bottle of single-vineyard chardonnay (rated 97 points by The Wine Advocate) from the highly-rated Kistler Vineyards. Kistler wines are among the most sought-after pinot noir and chardonnay wines in America, and founder Steve Kistler is known as an innovator in bringing a true Burgundian style to these varietals in California. Magnums of Kistler wines are made in minuscule quantities and are rarely seen in restaurants or even at auction. This lot also comes with a bonus six bottles of the 2015 Sesti Brunello di Montalcino (rated 91 points by Wine Enthusiast Magazine), a remarkable brunello that its producers noted would be a historic vintage. Made exclusively with Sangiovese grapes, this vintage is a result of near-perfect vineyard conditions in 2015, creating a complex and succulent wine with notes of red fruit, spice, and earth.
