    Perfect 10 INSIDER DEAL! Save $50 a Bottle on Sta. Rita Hills Kessler-Haak Vineyard Pinot Noir

    Welcome to our biggest discount yet!

    Everyone knows Sta. Rita Hills is a pretty special spot for Pinot Noir. Well today we take it one step further with an extremely small lot, single vineyard, single clone Pinot Noir.

    Winemaker Kimberly Smith of LaMontagne worked with the renowned Wes Hagen on today's wine, which comes from the highly acclaimed Kessler-Haak Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills.

    In a unique twist, Smith and Hagen made several very small lot bottlings (just a few barrels each) from this vineyard, each based on a singular Pinot Noir clone.

    For the Pinot Noir enthusiast, this is the height of wine geekery. For the rest of us, this is simply downright delicious Pinot Noir at an amazing price.

    With an SRP of $75, this wine is normally well outside our price range but thanks to today's incredible $50 discount per bottle, this Perfect 10 Pinot makes for quite a reasonable splurge.

    Today's Insider Deal gets you 3 bottles of the 2016 LaMontagne Sta. Rita Hills Kessler-Haak Vineyard Pinot Noir Clone 4A Theron for just $74.99 ($25 a bottle) plus $5 shipping.

    Factor in the additional savings from our $5 shipping and you're saving well over $160 on this 3-pack of wine. Buy multiples and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $5 shipping, no matter how many 3-packs you buy.

    This 3-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, VT, WA, WV, WI and WY. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery. Future deals may have more or less states available.)

    This limited time, winery direct offer ends Sunday 2/20/2022 at midnight (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    Clicking on the buy button above will take you to the site winedealmaker.com to checkout. If you don't see the embedded buy box click here to order.

    If you have more questions or any trouble ordering please check out our FAQ! Also please note that ordering accounts are not automatically created so there is no need to login unless you have previously ordered and checked the box to create an account during checkout (which is not required).

    From the winery:

    Kimberly Smith, owner and winemaker of LaMontagne, is a visionary and passionate businesswoman; her great love for Pinot Noir was what led her to the tireless search of discovering how to produce the best wines from this grape. In 2006, she began to plot her dream with the help of his mentor, winemaker Wes Hagen. Hagen was named in 2013 as “One of the 100 most influential winemakers in the USA” according to Decanter.

    Currently, Kimberly works hand in hand with her son Alec, who despite his young age, has been a key person in the development of the winery; he has had the opportunity to be involved in the process since the start of LaMontagne. Together, they're producing award-winning Pinots and Chardonnays.

    This wine comes from Kessler-Haak, a 2.5-acre vineyard, with soils composed of sandy loam with patches of clay loam and a cool maritime climate; the ideal terroir for cold weather grapes like Pinot and Chardonnay. This vineyard is managed with sustainable practices.

    Tasting Notes: 100% Pinot Noir. Aromas of black and red cherries, subtle notes of olives, and leafy herbs. On the palate, it is rounded, elegant with exciting freshness. A pleasure to drink!

    Produced & Bottled by LaMontagne Winery
    14.7% Alcohol

    2016 LaMontagne Sta. Rita Hills Kessler-Haak Vineyard Pinot Noir Clone 4a Theron Back Label

    The 2016 LaMontagne Sta. Rita Hills Kessler-Haak Vineyard Pinot Noir Clone 4a Theron begins with a succulent, harmonious aroma of raspberry, strawberry, cherry and a touch of cranberry plus notes of leather, clove, rhubarb, red licorice and much more. There's lots to discover here.

    Tasting reveals a juicy, downright delicious Pinot! Very smooth and very flavorful, all those same flavors from the nose make an appearance in the mouth where you will also find a bit more spice and some touches of black tea and cola. Everything combines so harmoniously here it almost hurts.

    It ends dry and incredibly long. This wine is drinking absolutely wonderfully right now, so much so that we guarantee that once you open this bottle it will be gone in no time. That said, I don't expect it to get any better than it already is so I would plan on drinking it in the next year to enjoy it at its peak.

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

    "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. And $5 shipping for four bottles? 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!"

    "Great deals for delicious wines!"

    "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 $5 or $10 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!​"

    "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!!"

    "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!!"
