Killer deal incoming folks!
We love a good Cab and Red Hills in Lake County is a fantastic spot to find them thanks to its rocky, volcanic soils and higher elevations. This little tidbit from the Lake County Winegrape Commission might help explain why:
Higher elevations and Lake County’s pure air allow for greater levels of UV light…This UV triggers thicker grape skins, greater tannins, and intense wines with high phenolic content.
Of course, the proof is in the bottle and this wine from older, dry-farmed vines backs it up with a 94-point score from the Tasting Panel and 91-93 points from us. And in a rather unique and delicious twist the wine also has 20% Zinfandel to go along with the other 80% Cabernet Sauvignon.
The whole thing is then aged 20 months in 25% new French oak barrels, and the results speak for themselves.
Here's how the winery (Rockslide Vineyards) describes their process:
Because we focus on Cabernet Sauvignon our commitment to specific terroir and the refined flavors of place has only grown. With a quarter century of winemaking experience, we are proud of our expertise and we eager to take it to even higher ground.
Rockslide wines reflect long-standing relationships between seasoned winemakers, viticulturists, and remarkable vineyard sites. We blend our wines to unearth the character of each site. We adjust our approach each year according to the vintage to create what we hope is an undeniable expression of each grower's hard work.
Winemaker Chad Alexander first entered the wine business in 1985 working at Mt. Veeder’s Hess Collection Winery. After 8 years of working with mountain fruit, he decided to expand his skills and worked in various winery cellars throughout Napa Valley. He studied Geology in college to expand his knowledge of soil science and how it correlates with planting vineyards.
Today's wine has an SRP of $54, which means our price is XX% off. To be fair, the wine has been offered at a wide range of prices in the past, but rarely less than $25/bottle and more typically around $30-$40 per bottle.
Any way you slice it however, you're saving a boat load on this 94-point Cabernet with today's deal...
For the next day you can get 4 bottles of the 2020 Sawtooth Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon for just $XX.95 ($XX.99/bottle). That's a SAVINGS of almost $XX a bottle!

From the winery:
The craziness of 2020 was no problem for these old vines, but the wines show that extra element of exoticism and vibrant fruit. Look for a bouquet of hyper-ripe black cherries, white pepper, wintergreen, cinnamon and sweet vanilla. The palate is intense and expressive, with the kind of finish that just tells you that this will age for a long time yet is very drinkable now.
14.5% Alcohol
Cork
The 2020 Sawtooth Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon opens with lots of cedar and barrel-room like aromas on the nose plus ripe berry and lots of assorted spice notes (mint, cinnamon, vanilla and more).
Like we mentioned above, the addition of Zinfandel makes for a rather unique blend but it certainly works as this is a very well put together wine. It has great structure and mouthfeel with some lovely chalky tannins. Black cherry plus other red and dark berries flavors are juicy in the mouth but balanced out with some spice and those chalky tannins.
It ends dry, chewy and long with lingering juicy fruit and spice. Quite tasty, this is a great Cab. Day 2 was just as good if not even a bit better.

"Opened a bottle - incredible! "
"love them all so far...Glad we ran across you. Too bad we can not order them all. "
"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. "

"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!"

"Thanks for a great service! We’ve been loving your emails and wine deals!"
