    INSIDER DEAL! Bulk Buy Rated Pinot Noir Only $13.33 A Bottle

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: March 8, 2023 Last Updated: March 10, 2023

    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.

    QPR ALERT!! A daily drinker for the Pinot lovers thanks to our 47% discount, it's a new vintage of the Fossil Point Edna Valley Pinot Noir.

    INSIDER DEAL! Bulk Buy Rated Pinot Noir Only $13.33 A Bottle

    This one hits it out of the park on the QPR (quality to price ratio) scale folks! Given what you typically have to spend to get excellent Pinot Noir, it's not often this variety comes up as an affordable daily drinker option.

    Today's 100% Pinot Noir was hand harvested in the Edna Valley and aged in neutral and once-used French oak barrels for 11 months.

    We last offered the 2018 vintage of this wine, so we're delighted to be back today with the 2020. We're also delighted by the fact that while the SRP has gone UP, our deal price has gone DOWN.

    This is also the little brother to the $55 Center of Effort Pinot we recently offered. And even though it is less than half the price, it gets some of the same careful hands-on winemaking treatment with night-harvested fruit and small lot fermentations with daily punchdowns by hand. Just 6,900 cases were produced.

    We found that the 2020 vintage we are offering here today compares very favorably to the 2018 we previously offered, receiving the same 91-93 point score. That's pretty amazing for Pinot Noir well under $15 a bottle!

    This wine normally retails for $24 but through today's Insider Deal we're slashing that price by over $10 a bottle...

    For the next day you can get 6 bottles of the 2020 Fossil Point Edna Valley Pinot Noir for just $79.99, or $13.33 a bottle, which is a discount of 44%.

    Add in the additional savings from our $6.99 shipping and you're saving 47%! Buy multiples and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $6.99 shipping, no matter how many 6-packs you buy.

    This 6-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, IA, IL, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, NE, NH, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, TX, VA, WA, WV and WY. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery and are not representative of all our deals. Every deal can have different, sometimes more, sometimes less, states available.)

    This limited time, winery direct offer ends Friday 3/10/2023 at noon (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    2020 Fossil Point Edna Valley Pinot Noir

    From the winery:

    Our Pinot Noir wines are rooted in the Edna Valley AVA, on the coastal margins of San Luis Obispo. Here, cool marine air fosters ideal conditions for Pinot Noir, yielding small clusters with distinct floral aromas and prevailing flavors of bright cherry and bramble. Our winemaking relies entirely upon traditional methods and is guided by a respect for the inherent quality of the fruit. We harvest in the early hours and deliver the clusters still cold and intact for careful processing. Fermentation is conducted in small lots with daily punchdowns by hand, prior to aging in a selection of neutral and once-used French oak barrels.

    The 2020 vintage delivered wines with intense ripe red fruit flavors, with energy and suppleness on the palate. Careful use of French oak frames the wine without obscuring herbal scents of marjoram and black tea. Balanced in acidity and texture, this wine is a superb partner at the table that will pair well with slow-cooked pork belly, roasted duck or miso-glazed Black Cod.

    2020 Fossil Point Edna Valley Pinot Noir Back Label

    The 2020 Fossil Point Edna Valley Pinot Noir begins with quite an enticing and lovely aroma of cherry, a little cranberry and some other brambly fruit plus licorice and lots of herbal notes too.

    Taking a sip reveals a fresh and tasty Pinot Noir that is ready for immediate consumption. With great balance, this is a fantastic example of the variety at this price point.

    It features black cherry and a little cranberry just like the nose but the flavors are nice and juicy in the mouth. There's a touch of strawberry too when tasting along with excellent streaks of well-integrated spice and continuing herbal notes.

    With good acidity and a relatively smooth mouthfeel, this is definitely a daily drinker to stock up on for the Pinot lovers.

    It ends dry and long with a little lingering spice. Yum, this is just a pleasure!

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

    "You guys are awesome! I've been following your recommendations for over a year now. And I'm loving the Insider Deals. Some of the finest wines I've ever experienced. Fantastic value! "

    "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!!"

    "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!"

    "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!!"
