Another day, another $25 off per bottle deal, this time on the Y Rousseau Tannat. But you better act fast, this one ends in just 4 days (Tuesday, May 5th at noon).
This is truly a tantalizing deal, featuring one of our favorite grapes from a place you don't normally find it. Of course, once you know the backstory on the wine it all makes sense.
Today's perfect 10 Taste rating comes from Yannick Rousseau who himself comes from the Madiran region of France, known for its outstanding Tannat. In fact, Yannick spent time as an intern winemaker at both Chateau Montus and Chateau Bouscassé, both owned by the Tannat guru Alain Brumont.
If you're not familiar with any of these regions or names, no worries, suffice it to say this wine is made by a guy who knows what he is doing especially when it comes to this deep, dark and delicious variety.
The Y Rousseau Tannat has an SRP of $45 and sells at that price from the winery. The handful of sellers on wine-searcher have an average price of $37.
Through today's Insider Deal, Reverse Wine Snob readers can pick up 3 bottles for just $59.99 ($20 per bottle) plus only $5 for shipping.
That's a discount of $25 per bottle and a total discount of $88, or 57% off, after adding in the savings from our $5 shipping versus the normal charge of $18 for 3 bottles.

This wine is 90% Tannat from a single vineyard in Clarksburg and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma, California. It is aged for 18 months in 35% new French oak barrels and 500 liter puncheons.
You will find Tannat – originally from the southwest of France – planted in only a few vineyards in California. Our Gascon winemaker was able to source Tannat grapes from a highly regarded single vineyard to realize his long time dream of making Tannat in California. Our wine is generous with dark fruits and sweet spices; it is bold and daring. Yannick is brave enough to make this unique varietal, be brave enough to try it!
All for Wine, Wine for All.

The 2017 Y Rousseau Tannat begins with lots of wonderful ripe berry notes plus plenty of violets. Keep swirling and licorice, a little spice and a hint of a meaty note reveal themselves as well. It's an excellent start.
Tasting the wine shows tons of juicy dark berry fruit with wonderful concentration. Licorice, spice and a touch of vanilla also come out under all the fruit. Add in its excellent complexity and a smooth and silky mouthfeel and this is just a pleasure to drink. Not only that but it keeps getting better the longer it is open.
It ends (although you'll be wishing it would last forever) with a dry, fruity, savory, slightly grippy and deliciously long finish. We'll be stocking up on this one ourselves!
