SAVE $XX A BOTTLE on 95-Point Alexander Valley Cab. Don’t miss the Perfect 10 Zialena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon.
Big time Cab at a big time discount!
Zialena winery is back with a wine from the famed Mazzoni Vineyard. In fact these grapes are even from the original parcel of land purchased in 1931:
The Estate Cab is handpicked, concrete fermented, basket pressed and 100% Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from the original parcel of land purchased in 1931. The grapes are harvested, destemmed, then hand sorted and the best berries go into the concrete fermentation tanks. After fermentation, wine is barreled down to 50% brand new and 50% neutral French oak barrels for 18 months, bottled and then see another 18 months of bottle time before release.
Smooth, juicy, rich, very deep, very complex and wonderfully satisfying, this one will be sure to impress at your fall and holiday get togethers.
With a score of 95 points from Master Sommelier Kevin Vogt and a perfect 10 (94+ points from us), it’s easy to see why the SRP on this wine is $70 a bottle. But, of course, that’s not the way we roll here at Reverse Wine Snob…
For the next day you can get 2 bottles of the 2019 Zialena Cabernet Sauvignon for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle). That’s an incredible discount of XX% saving you $XX a bottle!

From the winery:
2019 as a vintage has an amazing story. The rainfall in the winter was substantial, a dry warm spring and long even temperature summer gave way to exceptional fruit quality. On the Zialena Estate we were fortunate to have our Cabernet in tank when the Kincade fire began in Alexander Valley mid-October. With no power at the winery Mark drained each tank manually every day into a small stainless-steel tank, forklifted it over the top and drained it back over the grapes. This process is called délestage. It produces a reductive, dense, and powerful wine.
Coming alive with dark plum, wet leaf tobacco, cedar, and hint of violet all on the nose. The dense palate starts with black cassis, currant, and black pepper on the mid-palate, finishing with cured black olive, graphite minerality, and subtle cigar box note on the long finish. This Cabernet’s structure leads to an amazing length on the palate now and for years to come.
For this dense and powerful Cabernet Sauvignon a great food pairing would be braised short ribs.

And now on to our review:
The 2019 Zialena Estate Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon sucks you right into the glass with aromas of plum, blackberry, licorice, violets, black cherry, spice, touches of cedar, vanilla, tobacco, graphite, black olive and more. It’s a wonderful start and very Cab-like.
The wine tastes smooth, juicy, rich, very deep and wonderfully satisfying. It has similar flavors to the nose with more spice in the mouth and it also boasts great structure, balance and acidity. This is a fantastic example of Cabernet. It is very complex with all those secondary touches from the nose also presenting in the mouth.
It ends dry, very long, grippy and 100% satisfying and was just as good on day 2.
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.”

“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 am a Certified Specialist of Wine. I love your deals. You pick great wines!! Kudos to you for getting us great deals!”

“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!!”

“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. ”
