Happy Thanksgiving everyone – we are very thankful for all of you and hope you all have a great day! And what a better way to celebrate than offering this 92-point, Bulk Buy Rated Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet at just $14.16 a bottle.

We love Washington State wine and the Horse Heaven Hills is a prime spot to find it. The Cedar + Salmon Cabernet on offer today is an excellent example.

Dense, grippy and chewy — this is not for the faint of heart! And with this quality (Tasting Panel gives it 92 Points and we agree), plus the easy screwcap and plenty of aging potential, this one lives up to the Bulk Buy Rating in every way!

The SRP on the Cedar + Salmon Cabernet is quite reasonable at $25 and it is typically sold right around that price or even higher — it’s $27 a bottle on wine⁠.com currently.

That’s not the way we roll here at Reverse Wine Snob…

For the next day you can get 6 bottles of the 2021 Cedar + Salmon Cabernet Sauvignon for just $84.95 ($14.16/bottle). That’s a discount of 43% saving you almost $11 a bottle!

2021 Cedar + Salmon Cabernet Sauvignon
Horse Heaven Hills

TASTING NOTES: Sourced from the rugged slopes of Washington, our Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon opens with spice-driven aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. On the palate, saturated flavors of juicy black cherry and black currant are integrated with notes of bay leaf and dark chocolate. A silky mouthfeel, vibrant acidity, and strong structure lead to a luxurious dry finish.

WINEMAKER NOTES: A cool spring followed by a record shattering heat event in late June led to a small but strong 2021 vintage. Cooler temperatures in September and October allowed for grapes to hang longer on the vine. Flavor maturity was achieved before sugar ripeness, elevating the wine’s natural acidity. After the grapes were harvested, sorted and fermented, the wine was then aged in 15% new French and 15% new American oak until bottling.

FOOD PAIRINGS: This full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect pairing for soft truffle brie, a savory mushroom tart, moussaka, rosemary braised lamb shanks, or a slow cooker beef stew.

The Tasting Panel, May/June 2025 92 Points: Sourced from high, rolling hills, this vintage was born out of a heat wave, cooling just in time for harvest. Aged in 15% new French and 15% new American oak, this Cabernet Sauvignon (with 8% Malbec and 7% Merlot) shows concentrated power. With tobacco-washed blackberry, espresso, and Italian herbs, it is well built, with sturdy tannins. Dark chocolate and bacon fat enter mid-way with a toasted cedar finish.

And now on to our review:

The 2021 Cedar + Salmon Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon opens with quite an expressive aroma of black cherry and other dark fruit, lots of cinnamon, mint and other baking spice, a little cigar box, cedar, violets, coffee, vanilla, chocolate and more. It’s a great start!

The wine tastes smooth, a bit dense and grippy and features good structure, good acidity and similar flavors to the nose. Quite oaky when first popped and poured, it certainly lives up to the cedar part of its name! Give this one plenty of time to breathe if you’re drinking it now, it’s also likely to age nicely for the next few years.

It ends dry, chewy and quite long. I’m a bit surprised it is only 30% new oak, it seems like it would be even higher. Dense and chewy, this is not for the faint of heart!

We found it to be even a bit better on day 2 where the oakiness had subsided and things had smoothed and balanced out even more. This is quite nice, stock up!

Cheers,
Jon

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

“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 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…”

“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, 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!”

“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.”

“Just love your site and the great deals on unique small production vino. You do an outstanding job!”

“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”

“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**”

“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!”

“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.”

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

“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. ”

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