    INSIDER DEAL! Onesta Mentida Red Blend - Pure Deliciousness

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: November 24, 2021 Last Updated: January 12, 2022

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

    It's back, the Bulk Buy to end all Bulk Buys! One of the highest overall ratings we have ever offered in one of our 1 Day Insider Deals, the Onesta Mentida Red Blend.

    INSIDER DEAL! Onesta Mentida Red Blend - Pure Deliciousness

    Back by popular demand and over 50% off!

    If you love Rhone varietals and GSM blends you will absolutely love this wine. In fact, at less than $11 a bottle this might be the best value we have ever offered in one of our Insider Deals.

    And while it's not precisely a GSM blend, it is a rather unique combination of 70% Syrah, 15% Zinfandel and 15% Carignane from California. Based on the popularity and feedback from the previous offers we decided to bring it back! (Plus we were almost out of our personal supply!)

    The wine comes from Onesta, the same producer as our extremely popular Onesta Cinsault deal from the oldest (130-year-old) Cinsault vineyard in the world. And while this one doesn't come from nearly as old of vines, it is absolutely over-the-top delicious.

    At an SRP of just $20, this is quite a value even at full price.

    Today's 1 Day Insider Deal; however, gets you 6 bottles of the 2016 Onesta Mentida Red for $64.99. That's just $10.83/bottle, which is insane for a wine of this quality!

    Shipping, as always, is just $5 which means your total discount after factoring in the savings on shipping is over 50%! Buy multiple 6-packs and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $5 shipping, no matter how many you buy.

    This 6-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IN, LA, MA, MD, ME, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, 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 is a limited time, winery direct offer facilitated by our friends at Wine Country Connect. Sale ends Friday 11/26/2021 at noon (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. Once there you can also adjust the quantity of 6-packs in your order by using the "Click To Update Cart" link at the top right of the screen. 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).

    INSIDER DEAL! Onesta Mentida Red Blend - Pure Deliciousness

    From the bottle:

    Guilty Pleasures (Mentidas), everyone has them. They're fun, playful and addictive - an instant jolt of pure happiness. Mentida Red Wine has dark fruit and velvety tannins that will relax you and chase the heavy thoughts from the mind. Flavors of cherry, and blackberry, notes of vanilla and mocha with a warm oak spice are a perfect match with any chocolate in the house or a bacon cheeseburger. Pop the cork, put your feet up and indulge in deep conversations or binge watch your favorite show. What's your Mentida?

    Produced and Bottled by Mentida
    14.5% Alcohol

    The 2016 Onesta Mentida Red Blend begins with a fantastic aroma full of dark fruit plus cola, licorice and vanilla and even a bit of a wonderful meaty Syrah note.

    Taking a sip reveals...YUM! Just sit back and enjoy this one, this is fun to drink and full of pleasure but that also means the bottle won't last long. Loaded with rich juicy dark fruit, nicely integrated peppery spice, plus a smooth, soothing mouthfeel, this is fantastic.

    It drinks like a good GSM blend but it's not quite that with 15% Zinfandel and 15% Carignane (although the latter is pretty typical in these blends even though it doesn't get its own letter in the GSM abbreviation.)

    It ends dry, long, and just delicious. This is wine made to sip your worries away, which means that in today's world you better stock up!

    And here's what people are saying about our previous Insider Deals:

    "This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon. And $5 shipping for four bottles? You've outdone yourself!"

    "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."

    "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??!!"

    "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 am a Certified Specialist of Wine. I love your deals. You pick great wines!! Kudos to you for getting us great deals!"

    "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!!"
