And now on to our review:

The 2022 Painted Fields Curse of Knowledge Cabernet Sauvignon from Andis Wines begins with an enticing aroma full of dark fruit, plenty of licorice, violets, dried herbs, spice, cocoa, cola, cedar, mint and even more!

Tasting reveals a delicious wine with a smooth mouthfeel and good depth on the fantastic fruit. It features similar touches as the nose with lots of licorice, more spice, more dried herbs, more cocoa and more cola.

This one slaps you in the face with the delicious, deep fruit flavors right from the first pop and pour. It balances out even more as it has some time in the glass with all the other components playing a bigger part. And despite all the sweet tasting fruit this is a very dry wine with less than a half of gram of sugar in the entire bottle!

It ends dry, juicy and grippy on the extremely long, mouthwatering, fantastic finish. It was just as good on day 2. We put this one at the high end of our 9 Taste Rating at 92-93 points. What a treat! You don’t want to miss this one.

 
Up next we have the 2022 Painted Fields Old Vine Zinfandel. You will receive 1 bottle in today’s 3-pack.

From the winery:

2022 Painted Fields Old Vine Zinfandel, Sierra Foothills

The wine is a tribute to the farmers who have held on to Zinfandel vineyards for decades and, in some cases, for over a century. The wine is made from various old vineyards in the Sierra Foothills region, carefully selected to create an elegant red wine similar to the ones produced in the early days before Zinfandel became a jammy fruit bomb. It is a well-balanced, layered, and seamless wine that offers tons of fresh blackberry and raspberry flavors with a bracing texture of fine-grained tannins and bright acidity.

Blend: 90% Zinfandel, 5% Barbera & 5% Petite Sirah
Vineyards: Andis Estate, Old Massoni Ranch, Renwood Ranch, Di Stasio, Esola Vineyard
Harvest Date: From September 2 to October 8
Soils / Elevation: Granitic, and Sandy Loam, Between 1400 ft & 1800 ft

And now on to our review:

The 2022 Painted Fields Old Vine Zinfandel by Andis Wines opens with a lovely aroma of licorice, spice and everything nice! Ripe, dark and even some raisiny fruit plus anise and lots of other interesting secondary touches make for an attractive bouquet.

It only takes one sip to determine that this is super yum! I love it. This is a great example of Zinfandel with good depth, juicy ripe fruit and plenty of spice plus licorice and lots of Zin character. This is BBQ sauce’s best friend.

It’s wonderfully flavorful but not sweet at all with only 1.2 g/L of residual sugar and it gets even better as it has time to breathe.

It ends dry and quite long with lasting juicy fruit and spice. It’s just as good, if not even slightly better, on day two where it developed a bit more depth and wonderful balance. We put this one at the high end of our 9 Taste Rating as well at 92-93 points.

 
And finally we have the 2022 Painted Fields Sierra Cotes Syrah-Grenache-Mourvedre. You will receive 1 bottle in today’s 3-pack.

From the winery:

2022 Painted Fields Sierra Côtes Syrah-Grenache-Mourvèdre, Sierra Foothills

Sierra Côtes, meaning the “Slopes of Sierra,” is an excellent representation of the mountain fruit cultivated throughout our wine region. The region experiences hot days and cooler nights, creating a perfect Mediterranean microclimate for delicate Rhone-style grapes like Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. This climate allows the grapes to ripen ideally on the vine while retaining their acidity. The wine exhibits spicy notes of licorice, nutmeg, and crushed granite alongside a juicy yet briskly balanced flavor marked by a mineral lift.

Blend: 40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre
Vineyards: Andis Estate, Rancho Victoria, Starfield, Bailey, Kapela
Harvest Date: From September 2 to October 8
Soils / Elevation: Granitic, Sandy Loam, and Volcanic Between 1400 ft & 3200 ft
Fermentation 16 days in open top fermenters with AM/PM pump over
Aging: 14 months in French Oak Barrels, 25% NEW
Cases 1110
RS 0.3 g/L
pH 3.81

And now on to our review:

The 2022 Painted Fields Sierra Cotes Syrah-Grenache-Mourvedre opens with a very pleasing aroma of savory dark berry fruit like black cherry, blackberry and raspberry plus nicely integrated spice and herbs along with some floral notes like violets and lavender. It’s quite an attractive start.

The wine tastes smooth and is VERY easy to drink with similar flavors to the nose. We love that it is loaded with sweet tasting, tart, juicy fruit but no residual sugar. It also has plenty of acidity, good balance and soft tannins that add some nice structure. This is quite enjoyable!

It ends dry and very long on the mouthwatering finish and was just as good if not even a bit better on day 2. We put this at the high end of our 9 Taste Rating at 92-93 points.

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**”

“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!!”

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

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

“We purchased several times and have been massively impressed. Thank you.”

“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.”

“That’s tremendous…I wish I had tripled my order.”
