    INSIDER DEAL! Donati Family Vineyard Galatoire's Cabernet Sauvignon

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: September 8, 2021 Last Updated: January 12, 2022

    THIS LIMITED TIME OFFER IS NOW SOLD OUT! Sign up below to make sure you get the next one. Learn more about our winery direct INSIDER DEALS here.

    Donati Family Vineyard is back with a discount of almost 70% on this highly recommended private label Cab made for a restaurant program.

    INSIDER DEAL! Donati Family Vineyard Galatoire's Cabernet Sauvignon

    Today we've got a pretty special wine, made available for obvious pandemic based reasons.

    And yes that discount is based on the marked up $48 a bottle restaurant price. However, this wine is a complete steal at our price of just $15 a bottle.

    The Galatoire's Cabernet Sauvignon is really more of a Bordeaux blend than a true Cabernet, consisting of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Merlot, 8.5% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. It was aged for 20 months with 20% new French oak, 30% new American oak and 10% new hybrid barrels and has 14.1% alcohol.

    The wine comes from the excellent Paicines AVA which is on the other side of the Galban mountain range from Monterey. It is the southernmost (and warmest) AVA in San Benito County. It's also where our very popular Donati Claret deal came from.

    Produced and bottled by Donati Family Vineyard, this is not a bulk wine with a label thrown on; this is truly good stuff made by a highly respected winery.

    As we mentioned above the Galatoire's Cabernet Sauvignon is priced at $48 a bottle at the restaurant. However, we're slashing that price by almost 70%, netting you 6 bottles for less than the cost of 2!

    Today's Insider Deal gets you 6 bottles of the 2017 Donati Family Vineyard Galatoire's Cabernet Sauvignon for $89.99, or just $15 a bottle.

    This 6-Pack ships to: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, ID, IL, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, SC, TX, VA, WA and WI. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery. Future deals may have more or less states available.)

    This is a limited time, winery direct offer facilitated by our friends at Wine Country Connect. Sale ends Friday 9/10/2021 at noon (PT) unless it sells out sooner. Summer shipping is a flat $10 per order no matter how many 6-packs you buy.

    Clicking on the buy button above will take you to the site winedealmaker.com for checkout. If you don't see the embedded buy box click here to order. Once there you can also adjust the quantity of 6-packs in your order by using the "Click To Update Cart" link at the top of the screen. If you have more questions or any trouble ordering please check out our FAQ.

    2017 Donati Family Vineyard Galatoire's Cabernet Sauvignon Back Label

    The 2017 Donati Family Vineyard Galatoire's Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a strong and inviting aroma of plum and dark berry plus vanilla, a little mint and baking spice and an excellent dried herbal note.

    Taking a sip reveals a smooth and quite tasty wine with good depth of flavor on the dark berry fruit and well-integrated spice. Easy to drink and quite delicious, touches of vanilla, chocolate, cola and some oaky spice lead into the dry, long, savory and a bit chewy finish.

    This is more of a Bordeaux blend than a classic Cabernet but either way its delicious. A solid 9 on day 1, this was even a bit better on day 2. Drink now or over the next 5 years.

    Here's what people are saying about our previous Insider Deals:

    "I came across your website about a year ago and I think I have already submitted seven or eight orders. One is better than the next, literally! Great wine, great value."

    "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**"

    "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."

    "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!"

    "Great deals for delicious wines!"

    "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 $5 or $10 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??!!"

    "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."

    "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!"

    "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."

    "Wow! That was amazing! Thank you!"
