    INSIDER DEAL! Olelo Paso Robles Merlot - Easy To Indulge

    But you better act fast as this deal only lasts for 1 day!

    Today we've got a deal for you from a line of wines created by Master Sommelier Michael Jordan for Disney's Aulani Resort in Hawaii. This popular, low-production wine (just 832 cases produced) is the perfect complement to fall/winter weather. And while it's labeled as a Merlot it's really more of a red blend with 24% Cabernet Sauvignon added to the mix.

    And with the extremely low price we are offering through our Insider Deal, there's no reason not to stock up on this as a daily drinker!

    For the next day you can get 6 bottles of the 2018 Olelo Merlot for just $64.99. That comes out to only $10.83 per bottle, a savings of 38%!

    This deal ships to: AZ, CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, KS, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, NE, NH, NM, NV, NY, OK, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, WA and WY. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery. Future deals may have more or less states available.)

    This is a limited time, winery direct offer facilitated by our friends at Wine Country Connect. Sale ends Friday 10/16 at noon (PST) unless it sells out sooner. Now that summer is over shipping is a flat $5 per order no matter how many 6-packs you buy and no styrofoam packaging!

    Clicking on the buy button above will take you to the site winedealmaker.com for checkout. If you don't see the embedded buy box click here to order. Once there you can also adjust the quantity in your order by using the "Click To Update Cart" link at the top of the screen.

    The Olelo is 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles, California. The wine is aged in 25% new French and American oak for 8 months. Only 832 cases were produced.

    From the bottle:

    Olelo is "The Word in Wine!"

    Olelo translated means Word in Hawaiian. Wine is always better when you Mahele (share) it with others! We hope you enjoy our hand-crafted Olelo Wines.

    Cellared and Bottled by Word Vineyards
    13.5% Alcohol

    The 2018 Olelo Paso Robles Merlot begins with a very pleasing, inviting aroma of bright fruit, well-integrated baking spice notes and some nice secondary touches of vanilla and chocolate.

    Taking a sip reveals a smooth and tasty wine that is quite easy to drink. It tastes much like it smells (a very good thing) with more bright fruit and well-integrated baking spice. It's really solid at this price. It's hard to go wrong with a Merlot/Cab blend and this one knocks it out of the park!

    The wine ends dry, savory and long with the fruit turning a bit tart. This is a great daily drinker especially for fall/winter weather -- it went wonderfully with my wife's pot roast. At less than $11 a bottle our advice is to stock up!
