Don’t miss our XX% discount on this 94-point beauty from Gard Vintners. Today’s deal is the Perfect 10 Gard Lawrence Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from the Royal Slope AVA in Washington State.
Normally priced at $50 a bottle, this is a big, serious estate Cabernet from our friends at Gard Vintners, who are also behind our very popular Desert Wind reds Insider Deals. We love it so much we give it a Perfect 10 Taste Rating!
The big brother to our very popular Gard “The Don” Cabernet deal, only 645 cases of this beauty were produced.
The 2020 vintage on offer here today is 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc from the Lawrence Estate vineyards in the Royal Slope AVA. Specifically, it is a combination of the Laura Lee, Solaksen, Scarline and Conner Lee vineyards, which you may remember individually from our Gard Collection Series Cabernet offer earlier this year. And as good as those single vineyard wines were, the combination might be even better!
Aged around 20 months on 60% new French oak, the Gard Lawrence Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich and extremely satisfying wine now, but it will also continue to improve in your cellar for the next 5-10 years.
This wine is typically only available at the winery where it retails for $50 but we’re slashing that price by XX% for next day…
Through today’s deal you can get 3 bottles of the 2020 Gard Lawrence Estate Cabernet Sauvignon for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle). That’s a SAVINGS of over $XX A BOTTLE!

Summer 2026 Shipping Info
Shipping is a flat $9.99 per order, no matter how many packs you buy. This applies to both Summer Shipments AND Summer Holds. Summer Shipments also have an additional charge built into the product price for the heat protection package. Here’s how it works:
Summer Ship (+$8 for the Heat Protection Package) – Packages ship in styrofoam and use refrigerated shipping. This includes refrigerated trucks to local hubs for the South, Midwest and East Coast and internal refrigeration (ice packs) in boxes for the West Coast. Final delivery will be on regular UPS trucks without refrigeration (just like last year), thus the reason for the styrofoam.
Note that unlike last year, packages will not go 2-day air as the refrigerated trucks are a better option, however this will add additional transit time. Trucks will only pick up from our shipper once per week so with our normal order processing time of up to 10 days before orders are sent out, packages will likely take anywhere from 2-3 weeks to arrive in-home.
These orders have an additional cost of $8 built into the product price for this Heat Protection Package. It is NOT possible (nor would it be advisable!) to purchase a deal with summer shipping without also including the Heat Protection Package.
Summer Hold – Buy your wine now and have your shipment held in a temperature controlled warehouse for delivery in October! While we take every precaution we can with our Summer Shipping protocol, we also know that many of you travel or live in very hot areas where you don’t want to risk it (or you simply detest styrofoam).
Please note this is not a “ship-at-will” program, all your summer hold orders will ship (in cardboard/no styrofoam) at a date of our choosing in mid-October once temperatures have cooled down. Please read this post for important info to determine if the Summer Hold program is right for you.
If this is your first time ordering please check out the shipping section of our FAQ for more information.
For your convenience you also have the option to select a UPS Store/Access Point to ship to at checkout (with no additional pickup fee) so you don’t have to be home to sign! For Summer Hold orders whatever shipping location option you choose at checkout (ship to home or ship to UPS Store/Access Point) will apply in October.
From the winery:
2020 Gard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Royal Slope, Washington
The Wine: Brambleberry, violets, orange peel, cloves and black currant. Swirling brings forth ripe black fruits, cinnamon, toast, baking spice, fig and dried herbs. The mouthfeel is full, smooth and slightly lush with great tension mid-palate. Flavors evolve from red and dark cherry, blackberry, licorice, and coffee, to sweet tobacco, minerality, and wood, with firm tannins and a lingering finish. Drink now or for the next 10 years.
The Vineyard: Gård Vintners wines are 100% estate-grown sustainably at Lawrence Vineyards, featuring 14 distinct vineyard sites. With elevations that range from 870 feet to 1,675 feet and primarily south-facing slopes, Lawrence Vineyards provide a great framework for grape production, while the diversity of each of the locations delivers a high level of complexity to Gård wines. Lawrence Vineyards is certified sustainable.

Appellation: Royal Slope, Washington
Lawrence Estate Vineyards: Laura Lee, Solaksen, Scarline and Conner Lee

The 2020 Gard Lawrence Estate Cabernet Sauvignon opens with very pleasing aromas of black cherry, plum and other dark fruits plus lots of varied spice. Notes of black tea, cigar box and licorice also add intrigue. It’s a great start.
It only takes one sip to know this is a fantastic example of Washington State Cab. Big, full-bodied, bold and even a bit meaty, the wine features more dark juicy fruit plus all those other touches from the nose. With a smooth and chewy texture, this is very satisfying for the Cabernet lover.
It ends dry and quite long with lots of lingering spice and cola notes under the rich, dark fruit. It was even a bit better on day 2.
There’s a fair amount of oak influence as you would expect with 60% new French oak, which we very much enjoy, but it should also continue to harmonize over the next few years. (Which is pretty incredible since we’re already rating this a 10.) As good as it is now, don’t be afraid to forget about a few bottles in your cellar.
Cheers,
Jon

The shipping is unbelievably convenient. The wines are right in that price-tag-sweet-spot. And everything has been just as described. Great job.”
“Hi Jon, Best thing I ever did is buy wine thru you…not been disappointed with any of them! Thank you SO MUCH!”
“Just love your site and the great deals on unique small production vino. You do an outstanding job!”
“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.”
“Wow!! Just got my shipment. It is absolutely tremendous.”
“Another terrific selection from Reverse Wine Snob. Keep up the good work!”
“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 discovered your site looking up Costco wine reviews and have been hooked on your insider deals ever since. I’ve been referring every friend I know.”
“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!)”
“I have been buying your Insider Deals for about 3 years now and we have enjoyed every one of them. They are wines that we never would have found on our own… ”
“The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn’t purchase more.”
“Received my shipment today and just cracked open my first tasting. It blew me away…I guess I have another top pick to my list. Can’t wait for my next glass…”
“You can count on great value from the wines offered.”
“the wine is, in a single word, superb! as have been all other wines offered and purchased since I first learnt about you…”
“love them all so far…Glad we ran across you. Too bad we can not order them all.”
“Also your prices are pretty amazing.”
“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??!!”
“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”
“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.”
“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**”

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

“I love your approach to wine and all the great wine finds out there. It’s tempting to order almost every time you send out a deal. Keep up the great work, truly appreciated. ”
“Wish I had doubled my order!”
“By the way, you guys have a great company – smart concept, well executed. I may never have to make another trek to the wine store again. And your customer service is pretty darn good. Thank you. ”
“I am very much enjoying the wines I have been getting from you. I have discontinued all other wine services as the quality of the wines you select seem superior to what I was receiving elsewhere.”
