INSIDER DEAL! Brutocao Torrent and Cabernet Sauvignon

Reader favorite Brutocao Cellars is back and they’ve brought another excellent duo of wines.

The first wine in today’s 4-pack, of which you’ll receive 2 bottles, is the 94+ point Brutocao Torrent. This red blend uses all estate fruit and masterfully combines 65% Merlot from the Bliss Vineyard, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Contento Vineyard and 4% Syrah from the Feliz Ranch vineyard. It spends 18 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, 25% of which were new. We loved it so much we gave it a Perfect 10 Taste Rating.

The second wine (you’ll receive two bottles) is a smooth, balanced and complex estate Cabernet Sauvignon all from the Contento Vineyard. The wine spends 18 months in 50% French and 50% American oak with 35% new barrels. We rate it at 91-93 points.

The SRP on both these wines is $36, which means you’re getting them for almost half off (a XX% discount) through our special winery direct deal!

For the next day you can get two bottles of the 2018 Brutocao Torrent and two bottles of the 2018 Brutocao Cabernet Sauvignon (for a total of 4 bottles) for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle).

Our extremely affordable 2-day summer shipping is a flat $9.99 per order. (You’ll never pay more than $9.99 shipping, no matter how many 4-packs you buy in one order.)

Up first we’ve got the 2018 Brutucao Cellars Torrent red blend.

2018 Brutucao Torrent

From the winery:

Torrent = A rushing or abundant and unceasing stream; a deluge. This best describes our new proprietary red wine blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, a “Torrent” of aroma and flavor. It starts with cascading aromas of black licorice, blackberry, and espresso. A silky mouthfeel, a deluge of chocolate and coffee lead into an outpouring of plum and tobacco for a long, smooth finish. This is a serious, dry, and well-structured wine with lots of dark-fruit flavors and firm tannins. It has tempting black cherry aromas and black currant flavors, a full-body, and a mouth-filling texture that will pair well with rich food. Aging: 18 months in a blend of French Oak, American Oak, and our Winemaker’s proprietary blended barrel mix.

2018 Brutucao Torrent Back Label

The 2018 Brutocao Torrent opens with a very pleasing aroma of ripe blackberry and black cherry plus lots of licorice, a hint of roasted coffee and a bit of mint and vanilla.

Taking a sip reveals lots of juicy fruit in this easy to drink, balanced and quite tasty full-bodied red blend. It features delightful cherry, blackberry and plum fruit in the mouth in addition to more licorice, well integrated spice, chocolate and even a hint of a tobacco and earth. The whole thing is wrapped up in a silky smooth texture. This is tasting quite put together at 5 years of age, and still has plenty of peak drinking ahead of it.

Firm tannins lead into dry, very long, savory, juicy, grippy and even a bit dusty finish. Delicious, and it was even a bit better on day 2.

Next we’ve got the 2018 Brutucao Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon.

2018 Brutucao Cabernet Sauvignon

From the winery:

Our Contento Ranch is a beautiful, hillside vineyard, which gives this wine its distinct character of concentrated fruit and complex layers. Aromas of cinnamon stick, dried currants, and sweet plums lead into this rich wine. Plums & red fruit with hints of mocha & tobacco greet your palate. All this, followed by nice round tannins resulting in a long, smooth finish of cherry, honey, and vanilla spice.

2018 Brutucao Cabernet Sauvignon Back Label

The 2018 Brutocao Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a lovely aroma of blackberry, black cherry, licorice, cedar and some wonderful cinnamon and other baking spice notes.

Tasting reveals a smooth, beautifully balanced, medium-bodied, simply delicious Cabernet. Featuring wonderfully and seamlessly integrated oak, rich fruit, good complexity and touches of dark chocolate and spice, this is drinking great right now. (And I’m also guessing it will continue to improve over the next 5 years or so.)

Fine tannins lead into the long, dry finish. It was just as good on day 2.

Here’s what people are saying about our Insider Deals:

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!

Jon, this is a wonderful wine all around. You have become our go-to person for wonderful wines and wine values. Please keep up the excellent job that you’re doing! Regards, a very satisfied customer.

I opened up our first bottle last weekend and was blown away.

Wow!! Just got my shipment. It is absolutely tremendous.

Hi Jon, Best thing I ever did is buy wine thru you…not been disappointed with any of them! Thank you SO MUCH!

Would you happen to be offering this one again anytime soon? I regret not buying more. This was exceptional!

I am seriously considering having the Insider Deals as my primary go-to. Why did I not do this sooner? Thank you

The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn’t purchase more.

I love this wine I bought from you!!!! Thanks for doing what do do!!!

This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon…You’ve outdone yourself!

Thanks Jon. We already drank all 6 of the first order so we were ecstatic to see you offering it again. My wife and I both love it.

You are a man after my own heart. I have always looked for the best and least expensive wine and you just made it easier. Cheers!

Hi Jon, well, I did something people have warned about – bought 6 bottles and should have bought 12!

Have had nothing but great bottles since I started ordering your recommendations. Thanks so much!

We’ve gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more.

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??!!

I really missed the boat by only getting four bottles of this offer last month. Should have bought least at a case.

My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know new wines (and better than we used to buy!)​ Thanks for what you do and providing this service!​

Jon – you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!

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!)

The wine is outstanding. I am so glad I bought a case.

I only drink Reverse Wine Snob wine, it actually doesn’t make sense to buy from a store. You don’t get anything interesting, unique, and full of value otherwise.

Jon, I should have bought more! Delicious!!

I am a Certified Specialist of Wine. I love your deals. You pick great wines!! Kudos to you for getting us great deals!

Wish I would have ordered more!! It was great. Looking back, I wish I didn’t open it at our annual pool party. It’s gone. **Sob**

thanks for the deal…this wine is spectacular for $12.50/bottle. I am used to buying big, bold, young cabs or old vine zins and paying considerably more multiples of this price.

Hi Jon, just had to let you know that I love this wine!!!! Thanks for doing what you do.

I have purchased many times over the last several months and loved the wines!

Seriously amazing deal!!! I love a bold red, and Reverse Wine Snob delivered!!! Perfect for a rainy night!!

AMAZING!! Damn, I should have bought a CASE!!

WOW. Just… wow. Absolutely delicious. If I knew it was going to be this good, I would have bought a case… or two. This was dead-center in the sweet spot of what I like. Thank you!!

I have loved all my RWS deals, can’t wait to get this one.

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!

I finally opened a bottle of this and it did not disappoint. Delicious!!!

Thanks for a great service! We’ve been loving your emails and wine deals!

This insider deal is a great wine!!! So glad I got it!!

My Insider Deal arrived just in time for my celebration tonight and it’s absolutely delicious! Cheers!

Wish I had doubled my order!

I’ve gotten quite a few of these and loved them all — keep them coming!

Wow – this wine is amazing!!! Glad I have two more bottles of it!!

Bought a case wish I had purchased 2-3 cases. Fantastic buy for the price.

This Insider Deal was the best ever. This wine is amazing!!! Strongly recommend.

Get the 2018 Brutocao Cellars 4-Pack while you can! It ends Wednesday 6/28 at noon Pacific.
