It's back for a very limited time! An insane 55% discount (or $25 off per bottle!) on cool climate Syrah at its finest, the Qupé Bien Nacido Hillside Estate Syrah. Ends Thursday April 23 at noon.
It's another Second Chance Deal this week with the return of one of our most popular offers. This wine comes from a famed winemaker, gets a perfect 10 Taste Rating and has a massive discount to boot!
We were overjoyed the first time we had a chance to offer this wine and we're even happier to bring it to you again at the same $25 discount per bottle.
I'm a huge fan of Syrah and cool climate Syrah in particular and today we've got a truly excellent example from one of the masters.
Today's wine was made by Qupé founder and winemaker Bob Lindquist and has been considered his "reserve" level wine since he began making it in 1994. (Note this is the 2012 vintage which was made long before Bob recently sold his stake in Qupé to Vintage Wine Estates.)
This is a single vineyard 100% Syrah coming from the hillside Z Block at Bien Nacido Vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley. The wine spends around 24 months in new and neutral barrels. The favorite 15 barrels are selected and bottled for this wine.
The current vintage of this offering from Qupé (the 2014) has an SRP of $45. The average price on wine-searcher is $41, and in fact, the average retail price has never dipped below $36 in the last 4 years! Not to mention that in general Syrah from Santa Maria Valley is usually well over $40.
While I can't be sure, I'm doubtful this wine has ever been offered as low as $20. Typically only a few hundred cases are made each vintage (those 15 barrels mentioned above).
Today's deal gets you 3 bottles for just $59.99 ($20/bottle) plus only $5 shipping. Factor in shipping costs and you're saving an incredible $90!
This 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, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, VT, WA, WV, WI and WY.

13.5% Alcohol
The 2012 Qupé Bien Nacido Hillside Estate Syrah begins with a wonderfully strong, intoxicating aroma of plums, blackberry, blueberry, vanilla, black pepper, leather, cola, some lovely floral notes and a touch of smoked meat. It's a great start and it only gets better from there.
The wine tastes smooth, velvety and wonderfully balanced and I love that it is only 13.5% alcohol. In the mouth you'll find layers and layers of rich, juicy flavors similar to the nose with really well integrated oak. It ends dry, extremely savory, extremely delicious and extremely long.
It does need a bit of air to open up but it's really drinking beautifully right now. Not only that but it's got an easy 5-10 years of peak drinking left in it.
