INSIDER DEAL! Scott Harvey Inzinerator - Deliciously Decadent

It’s another Scott Harvey deal and do we have a treat for you today!

If you’ve gotten in on any of our previous Barbera or Zinfandel deals from Scott then you know all about the incredible wines he has been making for over 45 years from Amador County grapes.

Today we’re back with more fantastic Amador County Zinfandel with a decadently delicious twist…

You may be familiar with our “Ask The Expert” series here at Reverse Wine Snob where we have winemakers answer all your burning questions. When it came time to address the topic of sweetness and residual sugar in wine we naturally turned to Scott, who started his career making sweet wines in Germany.

Why is that important? Because today’s Zinfandel puts that expertise to good use as Scott blends in a bit of his Port-style wine called Forte, which is made from traditional Portuguese varieties (and also sells for $50 a bottle).

The resulting wine, which is aged in oak, gains both a bit of sweetness (it has 8 g/L of residual sugar) and additional depth and character from the Forte. Big and with broad appeal, this wine will please both those who prefer dry wines and those who like their wines on the sweeter side.

Scott should know – he created the original Menage a Trois line of wines when he was the winemaker at Folie a Deux in the late 90s before the brand was sold to Sutter/Trinchero. However, unlike many of the popular grocery store brands that try to have this same appeal, there’s no Mega Grape or other additives to be found here.

This is nothing but good, honest, well-made, small batch wine (only 703 cases were produced). Add to that this is the definition of crowd-pleasing and this is a great wine to stock up on!

Today’s Insider Deal gets you 4 bottles of the 2019 Scott Harvey Inzinerator for $64.99 ($16.25 a bottle) plus just $5 for shipping.

That’s a total discount of 40%! Buy multiples and you save even more since you’ll never pay more than $5 shipping, no matter how many 4-packs you buy. Read on for our full review.

2019 Scott Harvey Inzinerator

From the winery:

Full of big bold black cherry flavors, it is a lone warrior in the world of basics Zins. Oak aging contributes to the rounded complexity with just a hint of sweetness from the addition of port. Try this wine with any grilled meat or chicken, or pair with pizza, pasta or burgers.

Scott Harvey's InZINerator is a wine made for a Superhero.

2019 Scott Harvey Inzinerator Back Label

You know from the first sniff you're in for some big flavors in this one!

The 2019 Scott Harvey Inzinerator opens with lots of spicy dark fruit plus a little of that signature brambly Zin note. You can also definitely smell those Port-like notes on the nose.

Taking a sip reveals super crowd-pleasing stuff with the higher residual sugar but it also doesn't come off tasting too sweet at all, just delicious. Full-bodied and with lots of dark, jammy, raisin-ed berry fruit, there are plenty of rich, deep flavors. A smooth mouthfeel and lots of well integrated baking spice round things out.

It ends quite long and spicy with a hint of sweetness lingering on the lips. It's super and just as good day 2. Get some while you can!

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

"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. And $5 shipping for four bottles? 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 $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??!!"

"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!)"

"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!"

"This insider deal is a great wine!!! So glad I got it!!"

"My Insider Deal arrived just in time for my celebration tonight and it’s absolutely delicious! Cheers!"
