    INSIDER DEAL! Fossil Point Cabernet - Super Smooth and Satisfying

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: January 6, 2021 Last Updated: January 14, 2022

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

    Highly Recommended Paso Robles Cabernet for under $12 a bottle! Save over 40% with our 1 day Insider Deal on the Fossil Point Cabernet Sauvignon.

    INSIDER DEAL! Fossil Point Cabernet Sauvignon - Super Smooth and Satisfying

    This one is sure to please both your palate and your wallet.

    Paso Robles reds and Cabernet in particular usually come at a premium. One of the reasons for that is the area's unique calcareous soils full of marine fossils, much similar to renowned wine regions like Burgundy, Saint-Emilion and Chateauneuf du Pape.

    Today's wine embraces that distinction, even reflecting it in the wine's name.

    While it is made predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, it also has 19% Merlot to soften things up nicely. Add in 18 months in French oak (mostly used barrels I'm guessing as the wine doesn't show a lot of oaky notes when tasting) and this is a super smooth, easy drinking and quite satisfying wine.

    Through today's Insider Deal you can get 6 bottles of this Highly Recommended Paso Cab for just $69.99 or $11.67 a bottle!

    That's a savings of almost 42% off the typical $20 price not to mention the additional savings from our $5 shipping.

    This 6-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, IA, IL, IN, KS, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, TN, TX, VA, WA, WV and WY. (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 1/8 at noon (PST) unless it sells out sooner. Shipping is a flat $5 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.

    The Fossil Point Cabernet Sauvignon is 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot from Paso Robles. It is fermented in stainless steel and then aged 18 months in French oak. Only 1,250 cases were produced.

    Fossil Point Cabernet Sauvignon

    From the bottle:

    On California's Central Coast, our vines are never far from the influence of the sea. Sunny afternoons are tempered by brisk marine breezes, and our climate is directly shaped by the seasonal currents of the Pacific Ocean. Even our soils of calcareous shale and coarse sand were uplifted from the ancient sea floor and weathered into place over the millennia. Fossil Point pays tribute to this bond between sea and vine.

    Produced & Bottled by Fossil Point Wines
    13.7% Alcohol

    The 2017 Fossil Point Cabernet Sauvignon begins with pleasing aromas of plum, pencil shavings, licorice and cola.

    Taking a sip reveals a medium-bodied, tasty wine full of cola notes. Very smooth in the mouth the wine is not tannic at all and doesn't show a lot of overt oak notes. With the 19% Merlot it makes a great wine for those who prefer their Cabernet soft and smooth.

    The wine ends dry and long. Overall, it's a bit on the simple side, but quite satisfying and almost too easy to drink.
