    INSIDER DEAL! The Messenger Syrah and Zinfandel - A Dynamic Duo

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: June 3, 2022 Last Updated: June 6, 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.

    Art + Farm Wines is back with two delicious, highly recommended, true to form examples of their varieties. The Messenger Mendocino Syrah and The Messenger Lodi Zinfandel.

    INSIDER DEAL! The Messenger Syrah and Zinfandel - A Dynamic Duo

    Ready for another outstanding offer? We've been loving the wines being produced by Art + Farm on their Messenger label and today we have another delicious pair. In fact, in tasting both of these wines the word that we kept coming back to was "harmonious".

    Both these wines are still relatively young but are already showing great balance and harmony. And thanks to today's Insider Deal you can get them at a fraction of the normal price…

    Today's 6-pack deal gets you 3 bottles of The Messenger Mendocino Syrah plus 3 bottles of The Messenger Lodi Zinfandel for just $99.99 and $5 shipping.

    That's a total savings of more than 33%. Buy multiples and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $5 shipping, no matter how many 6-packs you buy.

    This 6-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, IL, MA, MI, MN, MO, NC, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, TN, TX, WA and WI. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery. Future deals may have more or less states available.)

    This limited time, winery direct offer ends Sunday 6/5/2022 at midnight (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    Clicking on the buy button above will take you to the site winedealmaker.com to checkout. If you don't see the embedded buy box click here to order.

    The first half of today's 6-pack is 3 bottles of the 2019 The Messenger Mendocino Syrah.

    2019 The Messenger Mendocino Syrah

    From the winery:

    “Like words, wine can convey many meanings, inspire endless stories and trigger unique opinions. But our message is simple . . . Enjoy this wine for what it is, an authentic expression of the land that grew it and the hands that have touched it.” - Rob & Kat

    All the classic Characteristics of a great Syrah. Pepper spice and black fruit with sweet blueberries hitting your mid-palate. Rich, but never cloying. Perfectly balanced and never ending flavor.

    Color: Bright Bricky Red
    Body: Medium/full
    Texture: Soft as a baby's bottom

    Vegan Friendly

    Vinted and Bottled by Art+Farm Wine
    15.5% Alcohol

    2019 The Messenger Mendocino Syrah Back Label

    The 2019 The Messenger Mendocino Syrah 75 opens with a lovely Syrah aroma. Dark fruit, a little spice, vanilla and licorice plus a touch of a meaty note all combine quite harmoniously with a little time in the glass.

    Tasting confirms this is delicious and quite true to the variety. Smooth and with similar flavors to the nose, there's a bit more more spice in the mouth. It's still young but quite balanced and harmonious already.

    Slightly chalky tannins lead into the dry, very long and chewy finish of lasting juicy dark fruit and spice. It was just as good on day 2.

    2019 THE MESSENGER MENDOCINO SYRAH 75

    Taste: 9 (91-93 points) Cost: 4
    OVERALL RATING: 7.8

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    The other half of today's 6-pack is 3 bottles of the 2019 The Messenger Lodi Zinfandel.

    2019 The Messenger Lodi Zinfandel

    From the winery:

    There is something uniquely Californian about Zinfandel. This wine is full and rich, but also balanced and fresh. Flavors of exotic spice blend perfectly with notes of sweet rose and blackberries.

    Color: Juicy Brick Red
    Body: Full
    Texture: Smooth and inviting

    Vegan Friendly

    Vinted and Bottled by Art+Farm Wine
    14.9% Alcohol

    2019 The Messenger Lodi Zinfandel Back Label

    The 2019 The Messenger Lodi Zinfandel presents loads of licorice when first popped open. Red fruit, spice, mint, brambly fruit and much more also come out as the wine has time to breathe. In fact, the more time it has to breathe the more dimensions that reveal themselves and after a couple hours it is really harmonious and layered.

    Tasting reveals that this wine has all the pieces of a delicious Zin and they all come together quite wonderfully with a couple hours of air. Smooth and delicious with lots of oak influence, this is classically Zinfandel but definitely in a balanced, pleasing way.

    It ends dry, slightly chewy and extremely long (I mean this goes on forever). It was just as good on day 2.

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

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

    "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!)"

    "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!"

    "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!"

    "Wish I had doubled my order!"

    "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."
