    INSIDER DEAL! 59% Off 93-Point Arroyo Seco Pinot Noir

    As promised, we're back with another Christmas splurge, although this time our discount is so big on this $45 wine that it doesn't even fall into Saturday Splurge (over $20) territory!

    Earthy, fruity, smooth, herbal - this one has all kinds of layers to enjoy and it goes great with food too. Made primarily from Dijon Clones 667 and 777, along with a little 115, the wine comes from estate vineyards in the cool-climate Arroyo Seco AVA and spends 10 months in French and American oak.

    Here's how the winery describes the vintage and vineyards on this 100% Pinot Noir:

    Arroyo Seco (“Dry Creek”), a sub-appellation of the Monterey AVA, enjoys a cool climate, producing an extended growing season (often 2 to 4 weeks longer than Napa Valley). This additional hang time allows for greater fruit ripening and brighter acidity. The Estate’s vineyards, inland from Big Sur, have deep, gravelly soils, ideal for opulent Pinot Noir cultivation. This unique combination of soil and climate produces relatively small berries with intense, concentrated flavors.

    The 2019 growing season in Arroyo Seco was picture perfect with long, cool mornings that gave way to mild afternoon sunshine with a daily breeze coming from the Monterey Bay that allowed for extended hang time and flavor development and intensity of the fruit.

    While we couldn't find any other ratings on the 2019, the 2018 vintage of this wine received 93 points from Wine Enthusiast. We think the 2019 is easily in that same category, and we put it at the high end of our 9 Taste Rating (93 points).

    And like we mentioned, today's discount on this $45 wine can't be beat...

    For the next day you can get 3 bottles of the 2019 Scott Family Estate Arroyo Seco Dijon Clone Pinot Noir for just $54.99, or $18.33 a bottle. That's a DISCOUNT of $26.67 a bottle, or 59%!

    Buy multiples and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $6.99 shipping, no matter how many 3-packs you buy. Read on for our full review.

    This 3-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, KS, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, NE, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, WA, WV, WI and WY. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery and are not representative of all our deals. Every deal can have different, sometimes more, sometimes less, states available.)

    This limited time, winery direct offer ends Sunday 12/11/2022 at midnight (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    2019 Scott Family Estate Arroyo Seco Dijon Clone Pinot Noir

    From the winery:

    A soft and decadent 100% Pinot Noir with aromas and flavors of cherry, sage, ripe raspberries and earthy notes. Richly textured and medium-bodied with balanced acidity creating a smooth, lingering finish. Enjoy this elegant Pinot Noir now or save for up to seven years.

    Food Recommendations: Pair our Scott Family Estate Pinot Noir with hearty and richly flavored dishes like paté, or a portabello burger.

    Scott Family Estate “terroir-inspired” wines are crafted to express the best of regions and vineyards ideally suited to cultivating cold-loving Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.

    Meticulous selection of sites with distinctive soil types and clonal varieties in Arroyo Seco (Monterey County) and Carneros (Napa Valley) results in fruit with uniquely nuanced flavors and varietal characteristics. These limited-production, ultra-premium wines are produced using small scale eco-friendly farming methods.

    2019 Scott Family Estate Arroyo Seco Pinot Noir Back Label

    The 2019 Scott Family Estate Arroyo Seco Pinot Noir opens with a beautiful, complex Pinot Noir aroma. Full of black cherry, cola, cranberry, rhubarb, tomato plant, wintergreen, forest floor and even more, there's lots to discover here.

    Amazingly all those components from the nose are also present when tasting, and they combine quite harmoniously. Earthy and fruity with some nice touches of spice as well, this is really pleasing to drink. Add in a smooth mouthfeel, good acidity and good depth on the fruit and this is top notch stuff.

    It ends dry and long was just as good on day two. Excellent!

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

    "I opened up our first bottle last weekend and was blown away. "

    "Wow!! Just got my shipment. It is absolutely tremendous. "

    "Hi Jon, Best thing I ever did is buy wine thru you...not been disappointed with any of them! Thank you SO MUCH!"

    "Would you happen to be offering this one again anytime soon? I regret not buying more. This was exceptional!"

    "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."

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

    "This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon...You've outdone yourself!"

    "Thanks Jon. We already drank all 6 of the first order so we were ecstatic to see you offering it again. My wife and I both love it."

    "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!​"

    "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 only drink Reverse Wine Snob wine, it actually doesn't make sense to buy from a store. You don't get anything interesting, unique, and full of value otherwise."

    "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!"

    "Wish I would have ordered more!! It was great. Looking back, I wish I didn’t open it at our annual pool party. It’s gone. **Sob**"

    "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!!"

    "I have loved all my RWS deals, can't wait to get this one."

    "I know that you don't need to have 'customers' email you every time they like a wine that you have suggested/rated, and I have enjoyed many of your recommendations. But this Tannat was spectacular! Wow! That was amazing!"

    "I finally opened a bottle of this and it did not disappoint. Delicious!!!"

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

    "I've gotten quite a few of these and loved them all -- keep them coming!"

    "Wow - this wine is amazing!!! Glad I have two more bottles of it!!"

    "Bought a case wish I had purchased 2-3 cases. Fantastic buy for the price."
