INSIDER DEAL! 91-Point Single Vineyard Miner Viognier

Celebrate National White Wine Day by saving almost $XX a bottle on the Miner Paso Robles Viognier from the Steinbeck Vineyard.

We love a good Viognier here at Reverse Wine Snob. It's also the perfect underappreciated variety to highlight for National White Wine Day on August 4th. Today we're bringing you an exceptional one from the highly acclaimed Miner Family Winery.

If you already love this traditionally Northern Rhone grape then you are definitely going to want to jump on this deal, as this example from Paso Robles embodies the best of the variety. And if you haven't explored Viognier yet, then this is also the perfect place to start!

Just what makes the Miner Viognier we are offering here today so good? We'll let the winemaker explain:

I would like to say that our Miner Viognier is extremely varietally correct for a domestic expression.

It has been known to be used for blind tastings for different Somm tests over the years to represent a classic domestic Viognier. It really holds onto those traditional “stone fruit and white flower” qualities that Viognier is known to possess. It is super refreshing, but also perfectly dry.

The Steinbeck Vineyard that we are working with in Paso Robles has extremely chalky soil, so it has this great minerality and a super clean finish. One thing that I think sets it apart is that it doesn’t have that cloying/Vaseline mouth feel that some Viognier Producers tend towards, because we do not use any oak whatsoever. The 100% stainless steel fermentation on this wine makes the finish on ours much brighter and cleaner and it doesn’t come off too perfumey with its aromatics.

We have had many Producers in Condrieu compare it to their own wine’s flavor profile, so we are super proud of this wine.

Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator agree, giving this wine 91 and 90 points respectively. We liked it even a bit more than that giving it a Taste Rating of 9 (91-93 points).

Normally retailing for $28, we've slashed that price for the next day...

From the winery:

Aromatically complex with citrus and honeysuckle notes on the nose and a plush feel on the palate, our Viognier consistently displays a fine balance of natural acidity and intense concentration.

This quintessential food wine was whole cluster pressed and stainless steel fermented to allow the vibrant, tropical and stone fruit characteristics of this varietal to shine. 2,688 cases produced.

The 2020 Miner Paso Robles Viognier opens with quite an engaging and aromatic bouquet just as you would expect with this variety. Full of honeysuckle, melon, lemongrass, a little pineapple, a little pear and a bit of lemon cream, there is lots to discover as you swirl and sniff.

Tasting the wine reveals a soft, smooth, round and almost creamy but still vibrant texture with a little minerality underneath. Very fresh and easy to drink, the wine features similar flavors to the nose that all combine quite harmoniously in the mouth. Great depth and concentration lead to lots of well developed flavors in this dry wine.

It ends dry, long, tangy and delicious. This is highly satisfying!

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

"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. "

"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."
