    INSIDER DEAL! Raised by Wolves Bonniemile Cabernet Sauvignon

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: January 5, 2022 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.

    Save 37.5% on this 92-94 point South African Cab, the Raised by Wolves Bonniemile Cabernet Sauvignon from Yardstick.

    INSIDER DEAL! Raised by Wolves Bonniemile Cabernet Sauvignon

    We've got a special one today folks! So special that just 4,000 individually numbered bottles were produced and we've got a bunch of them just for you!

    Today's wine is made by the highly respected Adam Mason, the head winemaker for Mulderbosch and formerly for Klein Constantia.

    This personal label is made by Adam in small lots from unique vineyards around the Cape of South Africa. The Bonniemile Cabernet we are offering here today is made from a small block of Cabernet (just 3,100 vines) in a single vineyard. It is then aged in neutral 300 liter hogsheads for 18 months.

    It also sports a 92-94 point score from a Master of Wine Greg Sherwood. (We concur giving it 91-93 points.)

    If it can be found, this wine normally retails for north of $25. If you've seen the prices on South African wines lately you know this is a fantastic price in its own right. Of course, we don't settle for that here at Reverse Wine Snob so through today's Insider Deal you'll save significantly more...

    Today's deal gets you 4 bottles of the 2017 Raised by Wolves Bonniemile Cabernet Sauvignon for $69.99 ($17.50 a bottle) plus just $5 for shipping. All told you're saving 37.5% on this exclusive, 92-94 point wine!

    This 4-Pack deal ships to: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, 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.)

    Buy multiples and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $5 shipping, no matter how many 4-packs you buy. Keep on reading for our full review.

    This is a limited time, winery direct offer facilitated by our friends at Wine Country Connect. Sale ends Sunday 1/9/2022 at midnight (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    2017 Raised by Wolves Bonniemile Cabernet Sauvignon Back Label

    The 2017 Raised by Wolves Bonniemile Cabernet Sauvignon begins with a very pleasing aroma of dark, plummy fruit, some dark chocolate and licorice notes and a bit of earthy spice.

    Tasting reveals a balanced, elegant Cabernet. There are oaky spice notes, but this is definitely not the vanilla bomb California style. Featuring a very nice, smooth and soft mouthfeel and similar flavors to the nose this is delicious.

    It ends dry, long and a bit grippy and chewy. It's drinking quite nicely now and should continue to do so for at least the next 5 years.

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

    "I love this wine I bought from you!!!! Thanks for doing what do do!!!"

    "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."

    "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!"

    "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!!"
