INSIDER DEAL! XX% OFF Davey & Browne Gordon + Bitner Block Cabernet

A mini-vertical of two 92-93 point McLaren Vale Cabs made from the best barrels from the best blocks of the Davey Estate Vineyard. Don’t miss your chance to get the 2018 and 2019 Davey & Browne Gordon + Bitner Block Cabernet Sauvignon for well under $XX a bottle.

Cab lovers, today is your day with our giant discount these two big and delicious wines that normally retail around $50 a bottle! (Curiously, the SRPs are $40 a bottle but the average price on wine-searcher for those few sellers who actually have it is $50.)

McLaren Vale is one of the prime spots in Australia (and the world) for Cabernet and today we have an excellent one from Davey & Browne:

Davey Browne represents the culmination of a long enduring friendship between noted Australian wine luminary Kym Davey, who has a passion for motorbikes, and American wine entrepreneur Andrew Browne, an avid fly fishing enthusiast. These rich, handcrafted McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignons are sourced from the finest fruit of the prestigious Gordon and Bitner block, named in honor of Kym and Andrew’s grandfathers, in the Davey Estate vineyard.

Two great McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon blocks combine harmoniously; one, a Reynella clone planted east-west in 1982 on loam and the other, a CW44 clone planted north-south in 1999 on red clay. Gentle cap management, through traditional open fermentation, protects and nurtures the unique qualities of the terroir. Very fine-grained French oak hogsheads are used to allow a long, slow maturation of the wine and subtle oak integration. A combination of new and 1-6 year-old oak barrels, crafted by select coopers to our requirements are used to create nuances and diversity of flavor.

These wines are as good as they sound. We give both the 2018 and 2019 in today’s mini-vertical 4-pack (you will receive 2 bottles of each) 92-93 points.

And as we said above our XX% discount off the $40 SRP (and XX% off the $50 selling price elsewhere), can’t be beat…

For the next two days you can get the Davey & Browne Gordon + Bitner Block Cabernet 4-Pack (two bottles of the 2018 and two bottles of the 2019) for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle)!

Every deal can have different, sometimes more, sometimes less, states available.)

Summer 2025 Shipping Options – We have both a Summer Shipping option (with heat protection) and a Summer Hold option. Our priority over the summer is to get your wine to you safely should you choose to have it shipped! Here are the details on both options:

Summer Ship (+$8) – Includes heat protection (styrofoam), freeze packs (when necessary), an upgrade to UPS 2-day shipping to minimize transit time when your order ships, and packages will only ship Monday through Wednesday to avoid them sitting somewhere hot over a weekend. Because we’re only shipping at the beginning of the week, these orders may take a bit more time to ship after the conclusion of the offer (likely 5-12 days rather than our normal 5-10).

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 (No Extra Charge) – Buy your wine now and have your shipment held (at no extra charge) 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. Whatever shipping location option you choose at checkout (ship to home or ship to UPS Store) will apply in October.

Both Summer Ship and Summer Hold orders will incur the flat $7.99 shipping charge per order, no matter how many packs you buy. 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 to ship to at checkout (with no extra fees) so you don’t have to be home to sign!

Let’s take a look at the 2018 first, you will receive two bottles in today’s 4-pack.

From the winery:

Tasting Notes: This Cabernet Sauvignon is dense purple-red in color. Fragrant cassis aromas with nuances of mint chocolate, olive, and graphite. Blackberry and blueberry flavours flow through the medium to full-bodied palate, balanced harmoniously with fine-grained tannins and integrated notes of French oak. A contemporary McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon that expresses the synergy of this noble variety, the terroir, and my personal winemaking philosophy.

Vintage: 2018
Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Appellation: McLaren Vale, South Australia
Vineyard: Gordon & Bitner Block, Davey Estate
pH: 3.64
Total Acidity: 7.1 g/L

14.3% Alcohol
Cork

And now on to our review:

The 2018 Davey & Browne Gordon + Bitner Block Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a lovely cab aroma full of dark fruit, lots of cedar, vanilla and more including touches of licorice and chocolate. It’s a strong and attractive start.

Tasting the wine reveals it to be lovely to drink as well with more juicy dark fruit plus nicely integrated spice and a bit of an earthy note. This is a big and delicious but still balanced Cab that is smooth and a bit tannic just the way we like it.

It ends dry and very long and was just as good on day 2. We love it! We put this at the high end of our 9 Taste Rating (92-93 points).

Up next, let’s take a look at the 2019, you will receive two bottles in today’s 4-pack.

From the winery:

Tasting Notes: Deep, ripe blackberry flavors create a complex and harmonious balance of long, slow maturation and oak integration.

Vintage: 2019
Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Appellation: McLaren Vale, South Australia
Vineyard: Gordon & Bitner Block, Davey Estate

14.3% Alcohol
Cork

And now on to our review:

The 2019 Davey & Browne Gordon + Bitner Block Cabernet Sauvignon opens very similar to the 2018 with lovely dark fruit, lots of cedar, vanilla and more including touches of licorice and chocolate.

Tasting the wine reveals it to still be a bit young and chewy at this point but this is built to age, so give it some time to breathe. Once you do there is tons of juicy, almost bright, tart, dark fruit plus nicely integrated spice and more licorice. This is delicious stuff that just keeps on getting better the more air it has.

It ends dry and very long and was just as good if not even a bit better on day 2. We love it!

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.”
