PRIZE 2: 

Collection of Five “Cellar Selections,” handpicked by MetroWines (Approximate value: $1,900)

Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill 2015

A powerful, structured Cabernet from the Diamond Mountain district, one of Napa’s premier AVA’s. Excellent critical reception and the depth to age for decades. Expect dark fruit, cassis, minerality, and firm tannins—hallmarks of this vineyard’s long‑lived style.

Peak drinking window is 2028–2038, when tannins soften and secondary notes (cedar, earth, tobacco) emerge but will further develop through 2045 if properly stored.

Giuseppe Quintarelli Giuseppe Alzero Cabernet 2013

A monumental, opulent, appassimento‑style Cabernet blend—intense, aromatic, and built for very long aging. Expect soaring richness, deep fruit, and the unmistakable Quintarelli magic. 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot.

Very approachable now with peak window 2027-2040. Dense, ripe, concentrated fruit, velvety texture with enormous depth, and the alcohol beautifully integrated.

Joseph Phelps Insignia 2022

A richly concentrated, high‑scoring Napa Valley Bordeaux blend showing dark fruit, polished tannins, and impressive early approachability, with critics awarding it multiple 96‑point ratings. It’s already expressive but structured enough to age beautifully for decades.

Peak window is 2028-2040. Dark berry compote, allspice, black cherry, red currant, dark chocolate and coffee bean with tobacco and graphite emerging with age.

Shafer Hillside Select 2022

A highly rated, powerful Napa Valley Cabernet showing exceptional depth, purity, and long-term aging potential. Black plum, coffee, spice, leather, and incense with gorgeous depth and plenty of structure. Peak window is 2028-2040.

Tenuta San Guido Bolgheri Sassicaia 2022

This wine is already being hailed as a brilliant, poised, and classically styled vintage, showing remarkable freshness despite the hot, dry growing season. Critics consistently score it highly, praising its elegance, balance, and long aging potential.

Peak window is 2030-2042. A wine of aristocratic elegance, surprising freshness, and classic Sassicaia restraint. Medium to full‑bodied with velvety tannins and lively acidity. Red and dark fruits with tobacco, spice and a long, persistent, elegant finish.
