two 95 point gems, perfect for giving or receiving

Hot off the wine press (get it?), these two wines are un-freaking-believable!  Perfect for the collector/connoisseur in your life.  Give as a gift or keep for yourself.  Buy them now before they are gone, quantities are extremely limited.  Each $75.00 per bottle:

Clos du mont olivet chateauneuf du pape "papet" 2009

"Needing more patience, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Papet (75% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre and the balance Syrah aged in foudre) comes from the estate's oldest vines planted in such famous sites as Mont Olivet and Bois Dauphin. Usually about 1,000 cases are produced and the 2009, which tops the scales at 15.5% alcohol, is brilliant. A gorgeously aromatic bouquet of dark fruits, kirsch, underbrush, raspberries, licorice, spice box and pepper soars from the glass of this dark ruby/purple-tinged wine. Opulent and voluptuously textured with moderate tannins, and a broad, fleshy mouthfeel, it has 15 years of evolution ahead of it. Nevertheless, it is very accessible and upfront now."  95 points Wine Advocate

sesta di sopra brunello di montalcino 2006

Just 400 cases made.  "A viscerally thrilling wine that takes hold of the palate and never lets up.  Waves of dark fruit sit on a textured frame of incomparable class.  The wine blossoms over time, with beautifully centered red fruit, tobacco, minerals and scorched earth, all of which flow in a rich, expansive style.  The explosive finish is utterly beautiful.  This is a superb effort from Sesta di Sopra.  Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031."  95 points Wine Advocate
