It’s back with a new vintage and it’s discounted over $XX a bottle! SAVE XX% on the return of the 94-point Metz Road Riverview Vineyard Pinot Noir.
Don’t miss the return of this downright delicious wine produced from a unique vineyard.
This fabulous Pinot Noir deal has returned! When we offered the 2020 vintage last year you all gobbled them up and asked for more so today we’re bringing you the EVEN BETTER 2021 vintage!
The Metz Road Riverview Vineyard Pinot Noir has an SRP of $36 and an average price on wine-searcher of $31 a bottle.
This is not a wine that typically sees big discounts but that, no doubt, comes from its pedigree and history of high scores. In fact, the 2021 vintage we are offering today received a 94 points from Wine Enthusiast. We score it very closely, right at the top of our 9 Taste Rating (92-93 points).
This is Pinot Noir (clones 115, 117, Calera and Pommard) from the estate Riverview Vineyard in the Salinas Valley of Monterey, California. The wine was aged for 16 months in 100% French oak.
Here’s some more on this special vineyard:
Our estate Riverview Vineyard is a 340-acre, cold-climate (Region 1), sustainably-farmed, benchland site that overlooks the Salinas River. It is situated on the east side of the Salinas Valley just below the Pinnacles National Park. It owes its vinous personality to decomposed granite soils, morning fog, great exposure and little protection from the strong winds off Monterey Bay some 40 miles to the north. These unique conditions help distinguish our wines from their brethren in the Santa Lucia Highlands directly across the valley.
To preserve the intrinsic character of the Riverview Vineyard, we use sustainable farming practices and innovative winemaking techniques including on-site fermentations with wild yeast. It is planted to an assortment of varieties, clones and rootstocks specifically matched to the various micro-climates, soils and aspects of the terrain. The namesake Metz Road runs alongside the property.
And as we mentioned, today’s deal gets you this wine at an incredible price…
For the next day you can get 4 bottles of the 2021 Metz Road Riverview Vineyard Pinot Noir for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle). That’s a DISCOUNT of over $XX a bottle or XX%!

From the winery:
TASTING NOTES: The Riverview Vineyard has an unmistakable signature, an aromatic and textural thread that runs through all our wines. Our 2021 Pinot Noir is defined by its pure fruit and impeccable balance. The nose includes notes of cherries, currants and cranberries, followed by vanilla and hints of toasty oak. The medium bodied palate offers a blush of bright red fruit with soft, integrated tannins and a lingering, sweet oak finish.
WINEMAKING: The grapes were picked in the early morning hours, brought to the winery and carefully destemmed to preserve the whole berries. Fermentation was done in small, open-top tanks with punch-downs three times a day to gently extract color and tannins. A portion of the must was un-inoculated so the native vineyard microflora could initiate fermentation. Other lots were inoculated with various isolated vineyard non-saccharomyces yeasts, as well as select Burgundian strains. After fermentation, the wine was pressed into a stainless-steel tank for settling, then racked to 100% French oak barrels for 16 months. The final blend was a selection of only our top barrels.

The 2021 Metz Road Riverview Vineyard Pinot Noir begins with a very enticing aroma of cherry, raspberry and strawberry plus a little bit of an earthy, rhubarb note and touches of cola, spice and licorice. It’s a great, classic start.
Tasting reveals a smooth, round, wonderful mouthfeel plus juicy fruit and nice streaks of spice, earth, a little black tea and some white pepper. What a wonderful combination of flavors! Everything is really well integrated and superbly balanced in the mouth. And while it has plenty of complexity, it is still quite easy to drink. This is just downright delicious!
It ends dry and with lots of lingering flavors on the very long finish and it was just as good on day 2. This is a great bottle to stock up on and a really wonderful example of Pinot especially at this low of a price. We liked it even a bit better than the 2020, which was also excellent.
Cheers,
Jon

RECOMMENDED BUY
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.”

“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.”

“I have loved all my RWS deals, can’t wait to get this one.”
