Welcome back to Syrah Nirvana! Save over $XX a bottle on a new vintage of the Amavi Cellars Syrah from the Walla Walla Valley. Ends Sunday 1/25 at midnight.
Today’s Insider Deal channels a little bit of the Northern Rhone in the Walla Walla Valley! We’re delighted to bring back a favorite deal (with a Perfect 10 Taste Rating) from a favorite producer.
As we noted when we offered the Cabernet from Amavi Cellars, buying Cabs from the Walla Walla Valley typically puts quite a dent in your wallet. That is no less the case with Syrah.
In fact, the wine-searcher average for a single bottle of Walla Walla Syrah is well over $100!
Well, this weekend’s deal, which we’ve dubbed the “Syrah Nirvana 3-Pack“, gets you this already reasonably priced ($42) estate Syrah XX% OFF!
That means through today’s deal you can get 3 bottles of the 2023 Amavi Cellars Walla Walla Valley Syrah for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle), saving you over $XX a bottle!
Past vintages of this deal have proven to be very popular, so we recommend getting those orders in quick to avoid a sell-out.

From the winery:
2023 AMAVI WALLA WALLA SYRAH
100% Estate 100% Sustainable 100% Walla WallaSMELLS LIKE: dark berries, including blackberry and black cherry, hints of violet and lavender, earthy undertones of smoked meat and cracked pepper
TASTES LIKE: bold flavors of blackberry, black cherry, and ripe plum, followed by hints of blueberry, dried herbs, smoked meat, and a hint of cocoa
MOUTHFEEL: silky tannins and a well-integrated structure give way to a long, lingering finish with echoes of dark fruit and savory spice
DRINK WITH: grilled lamb chops, braised short ribs, roasted Eggplant or ratatouille, spiced pork tenderloinTHE VINTAGE: The Walla Walla Valley 2023 growing season began with late budbreak in the end of April through early May. Due to the ideal spring weather, bloom happened in record time— less than 30 days in parts of the vineyards. Summer was one of the hottest on record, with steady but not extreme heat, leading to ripe fruit that maintained freshness and acidity, and kicked off an early harvest in September. The resulting wines showcase ripe luscious tannins, balanced tension and complexity, promising exciting developments over the next decade and beyond.

And now on to our review:
The 2023 Amavi Cellars Syrah begins with a very pleasing aroma of blackberry, plum, lots of cured meat notes including bacon, lots of herbal notes, black pepper, some floral notes, some iron-like minerality and much more. It’s a fabulous start.
Tasting the medium to full-bodied wine reveals lots of juicy, blackberry fruit and a silky smooth mouthfeel plus firm tannins, lively acidity and great balance. There are also lovely touches of licorice plus a little chocolate and vanilla under the juicy fruit as well as continuing meaty notes. This is very Northern Rhone like! It is at its best after a couple hours of air and was even better on day 2.
It ends dry and extremely long and juicy on the dynamic, mouth-watering finish. This is delicious again!
Cheers,
Jon

“I’ve bought a ridiculous amount of wine from your deals in the last year…I just want to say that I really appreciate what you guys have done with RWS.

“I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)”

“Hey Jon! You do great work. I’ve bought a bunch of the Insider Deals and probably 80% of the wine I drink comes from them. Great values!”
“The shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)….yikes!”
“Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn’t I buy a case??!!”

“Jon – you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!”
“The wine is outstanding. I am so glad I bought a case.”

“I know that you don’t need to have ‘customers’ email you every time they like a wine that you have suggested/rated, and I have enjoyed many of your recommendations. But this Tannat was spectacular! Wow! That was amazing!”
