    INSIDER DEAL! 94+ Point Kukeri Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: October 31, 2022 Last Updated: November 18, 2022

    THIS DEAL IS NOW EXPIRED! Sign up below to make sure you get the next one. Learn more about our winery direct INSIDER DEALS here.

    Say hello to a stunningly delicious rendition of Napa Valley Cab that is highly discounted for the next day. The Kukeri Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is back with a new vintage.

    INSIDER DEAL! 94+ Point Kukeri Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

    Yes, you read that right, this is some of the best Napa Valley has to offer! Kukeri Wines is back with everything that is good about Napa Cabernet Sauvignon in our 1 day Insider Deal.

    Last year we offered the 2018 Kukeri Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon which won Double Gold and a 96-point rating at the 2021 Press Democrat North Coast Wine Challenge. The 2019 we are offering today was just released so it doesn't have any scores yet, but it is every bit as good as that previous offer and easily gets a perfect 10 Taste Rating.

    And if you had the chance to take part in our previous Kukeri offerings on the Lakeville Vineyard Pinot Noir, the Stags Leap Red Blend, the Howell Mountain Cab or this very wine, then you know just how talented of a winemaker Petar Kirilov is. He, maybe not so coincidentally, used to work with another of our favorite winemakers, Clark Smith, author of the book Postmodern Winemaking and the man behind several extremely popular Insider Deals from his WineSmith and Two Jakes labels.

    This Kukeri Napa Cab is made up of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon (clone 337), 3.1% Malbec and 1.9% Petit Verdot from some of the best growing regions in Napa Valley, including the Truchard vineyard in Los Carneros and another small family vineyard at 1500 feet of elevation on the eastern slope of Atlas Peak.

    It was aged for 30 months in 80% French and 20% American oak barrels with 40% new French oak. It is typically only available from the winery and just 175 cases were produced.

    All of this to say, this is truly splurge worthy stuff and we're delighted to be able to offer it to you once again. We've consumed many bottles of this wine and have more sitting in our own cellar.

    The normal price of this 94+ point Cab is $59. It's a lot, but if you're a Napa Cab lover, you get it. Thankfully you won't have to pay anywhere close to that price through today's deal!

    For the next day you can get two bottles of the 2019 Kukeri Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon for just $XX.XX!

    Save even more with our very reasonable shipping especially since you'll never pay more than $6.99, no matter how many 2-packs you buy. Read on for our full review.

    This 2-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, WA, WI and WY. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery and are not representative of all our deals. Every deal can have different, sometimes more, sometimes less, states available.)

    [This deal is now expired.]

    This limited time, winery direct offer ends Wednesday 11/2/2022 at noon (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    2019 Kukeri Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

    From the winery:

    The 2019 Kukeri Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of fruit from some of the best Cabernet growing regions in Napa Valley, including the Truchard vineyard, located in Los Carneros and another small family vineyard situated within 1500 feet elevation on the eastern slope of Atlas Peak. A touch of Malbec, and Petite Verdot balance the rich dark fruit and massive tannins of our 2019 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, adding a vibrancy to its lush mouthfeel and lingering dry finish and balanced acidity.

    The grapes were handpicked at the end of October, de-stemmed and crushed into small fermentation bins and allowed to cold soak for 3 days to help stabilize the color and enhance flavor. It was fermented for 16 days and punched down 3 times a day, with an additional 4 days extended maceration to increase extraction of color and phenolic compounds. The wine is then gently pressed and aged on fine lees for 30 months in mixture of 80% French and 20% American oak barrels with 40% new French oak to preserve the delicate notes and mouthfeel.

    Bold and wild the 2019 Kukeri Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, exhibiting aromas of dark fruits, black tea, tabaco and green olives, accented with earthy spice notes. A hint of mountain forest, light cedar oak and dusty baking cocoa combine these aromatics to create this rich full-bodied Napa Cabernet Sauvignon with medium acidity and long legs, which makes a perfect accompaniment to any grilled meat dishes.

    2019 Kukeri Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Back Label

    The 2019 Kukeri Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon begins with a wonderful, savory, harmonious aroma of dark berry fruit, spice, a little earth, graphite, licorice and black tea, a touch of tobacco and more.

    The full-bodied wine tastes stunningly delicious and combines all those components from the nose rather wonderfully, although the deep dark fruit is a bit more brambly in the mouth. It's quite tannic but amazingly balanced even at this young age.

    It ends dry, very long, juicy and chewy. This is absolutely delicious and easily gets a 10 Taste Rating. It even improved (somehow) on day two. It's rare that you find a wine that is this harmonious and well put together. Super drinkable now, it should just keep on improving for next 10 years as well.

    This is well worth the splurge, especially with the holidays coming!

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

    "I opened up our first bottle last weekend and was blown away. "

    "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"

    "The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn't purchase more."

    "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!!"

    "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 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**"

    "thanks for the deal...this wine is spectacular for $12.50/bottle. I am used to buying big, bold, young cabs or old vine zins and paying considerably more multiples of this price."

    "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!!"

    "My Insider Deal arrived just in time for my celebration tonight and it’s absolutely delicious! Cheers!"

    "Wish I had doubled my order!"

    "I've gotten quite a few of these and loved them all -- keep them coming!"

    "Wow - this wine is amazing!!! Glad I have two more bottles of it!!"

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