AUTOBUY. We don’t use that term lightly but when a producer has repeatedly and continuously blown us (and all of you) away with their wines, it becomes warranted. And that is just the case with Scott Harvey.

We’ve featured several vintages of this very wine as an Insider Deal and it has proven to be one of our most popular (and most requested) offers of all time. And having tasted every one of the last 10 vintages, we can say the 2023 is something extra special.

Of course, this should be no surprise when you’re combining Scott Harvey’s 50 years of winemaking experience in Amador County with the excellent grapes that are grown here. And Scott himself ranks 2023 as a top 5 vintage over those 50 years:

Of my 50 harvests, 2023 was the latest of them all, with grapes harvested well into November. The extended hang time produced beautifully balanced fruit with excellent acidity, deep color, rich extraction, and concentrated flavor. I expect this to be one of my top five vintages. – Scott Harvey

Amador County in the Sierra Foothills is special spot, especially for Italian varietals. (And let me tell you, we LOVE Italian wine.) With nearly 600 acres of vines 65+ years old, winemaking goes back to the Gold Rush of 1849. There are still several vineyards (of the 40 or so total) which had their start in the 19th century.

Today’s wine has an SRP of $36, which is no surprise given the quality and the careful winemaking including an incredible 31 months in French oak. For the next day; however, we’re slashing $16 a bottle off that price.

Today’s Insider Deal gets you 4 bottles of the 2023 Scott Harvey Mountain Selection Barbera for just $79.99 ($19.99 each), a discount of 44%!

The 2023 Scott Harvey Mountain Selection Barbera is 100% Barbera from the Shenandoah Valley in Amador County, California. The wine is aged for 31 months in French oak and has less than 2 g/L of residual sugar. 1,321 cases were produced.

From the winery:

2023 Scott Harvey Mountain Selection Barbera

Vineyard/Vintage Notes: Grown on steep, mountainous terrain in the higher elevations of the Shenandoah Valley in Amador County, California. The 2023 growing season began with a bud break that was three to four weeks later than normal due to abundant winter moisture and late spring rains. After the severe frost of 2022, the delayed bud break was a welcome development.

Spring and summer were both mild. Because the 2022 frost resulted in a light crop, the vines produced strong bud wood for the 2023 vintage. Combined with ample rainfall, the late bud break, and the mild growing season, these conditions produced a larger-than-average crop that ripened nearly a month later than normal.

Of my 50 harvests, 2023 was the latest of them all, with grapes harvested well into November. The extended hang time produced beautifully balanced fruit with excellent acidity, deep color, rich extraction, and concentrated flavor. I expect this to be one of my top five vintages. – Scott Harvey

Winemaker’s Notes: Produced in the traditional Italian Old World style, this wine is crafted to be exceptionally food friendly.

Tasting Notes: Bright red fruit and ripe cherry aromas are complemented by subtle hints of oak. Rich and extractive, the wine showcases a vibrant mid-palate with excellent balance and a full, long, lingering finish.

Blend: 100% 2023 Amador County Barbera
pH: 3.4
RS: Dry <.2%
Cases Produced: 1,321 cases 12/750ml
Cooperage: 31 months in French Oak
SRP $36

And now on to our review:

The 2023 Scott Harvey Mountain Selection Barbera compares quite favorably with all the vintages we previously offered. It opens with jammy black cherry, lots of blackberry, raspberry, a little cola and touches of vanilla, licorice, mint and other baking spice and cigar box. It’s just lovely and very aromatic and only gets more so with time in the glass.

Tasting unleashes plenty of juicy, fruity deliciousness in your mouth as you are accustomed to with this wine, but also great balance and structure and a wonderful smoothness. It also features great depth and complexity, even moreso than previous vintages. This wine always ages well (we have lots of bottles in our cellar), but this seems to be particularly age-worthy rendition.

It ends dry and a bit grippy with long lasting sweet fruit notes on the juicy, mouth-watering finish.

There’s really no reason not to stock up at this price. So good once again, we love this fantastic wine and this is a very special vintage of it. You do not want to miss it!

Cheers,
Jon

“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!)”

“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!”

“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??!!”

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

“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!!”

“The wine is outstanding. I am so glad I bought a case.”

“Wish I had doubled my order!”

“By the way, you guys have a great company – smart concept, well executed. I may never have to make another trek to the wine store again. And your customer service is pretty darn good. Thank you. ”

Cabernet Sauvignon from Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California.

Unlike a lot of the Kirkland Signature wines, there is no indication of the winemaker or producer of this bottle, but given it wears the Stags Leap District AVA, the grapes definitely come from this exclusive area.

And what an exclusive area it is, especially for Cabernet Sauvignon, with the Stags Leap District garnering a premium over the Napa Valley as a whole, which already commands a 140% premium in grape price per ton over Sonoma. (Even the “Best Value” list for Stags Leap District on wine-searcher is filled mostly with wines that are well into the triple digits.)

And while we’re of the opinion that 90% of the wine here is overpriced, there is something special about this area and the grapes grown here. We thought Costco did a nice job of capturing some of the magic at a reasonable price when they introduced this wine in 2022. Let’s see if the 2024 can continue the trend.

This wine is available exclusively at Costco and sells for $19.99, a welcome price reduction from the 2022 which was $23.99

From the bottle:

2024 Kirkland Signature Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

With just 1,350 acres, Napa Valley’s Stags Leap District AVA vineyard is in the heart of Napa Valley. This tiny enclave was first planted with Cabernet Sauvignon in 1961. Stags Leap District AVA is best known for its unique volcanic soil of loam and clay which consistently produce deeply concentrated and elegant examples of Cabernet Sauvignon.

2024 Kirkland Signature Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon has the black cherry and ripe plum fruit notes and velvety tannins that are the hallmark of this Napa Valley AVA.

Cellared & Bottled by DC Flynt MW Domaines and Estates
14.5% Alcohol

The 2024 Kirkland Signature Stags Leap District Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a pleasing aroma of dark fruit and a little oaky spice plus some licorice, chocolate, mint and vanilla. It’s quite nice and quite Napa.

Tasting reveals a soft, smooth, complex and flavorful Cab. It has perhaps a touch of residual sugar and also a good amount of oak influence, but the fruit still leads the way. Still a bit young and oaky, it features all the same touches and flavors from the nose. There’s plenty of potential here if you let it age a bit, or if drinking it now just give it plenty of time to breathe.

It ends dry, long, oaky and a bit grippy and was similar on day 2.

I would say that just like they’ve done with the Kirkland Signature Barolo and Kirkland Signature Chateauneuf-du-Pape (to name just a couple), Costco has indeed managed to capture a little of the magic of this exclusive area. And just like those wines, this one will never be mistaken for anything close to the best from the region, but it is nonetheless quite a nice wine and a good representation of the district.

Review Summary

60% Grenache Blanc and 40% Viognier from the Rhone Valley of France. The wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel vats and does not undergo malolactic fermentation.

Sample submitted for review. The 2025 Lavau Cotes du Rhone Blanc is available for as low as $10-$11.

From the winery:

2025 Lavau Cotes du Rhone Blanc

LOCATION: This wine is derived from selected vineyards in the Vaucluse and Gard “departments” of France.

VINEYARDS AND TERROIR: Our whites are selected from vines growing in clay-limestone plains and hillsides.

GRAPE VARIETIES: Grenache blanc (60%), Viognier (40%)

PRODUCTION: After a light skin maceration, the grapes are pressed and placed in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Fermentation is carried out at low temperature to preserve as much fruit as possible. Ageing also takes place in vats, on the fine lees, with no malolactic fermentation taking place, in order to preserve the crisp, crunchy character of this easy-drinking wine.

TASTING NOTES: A lovely nose of peaches and pears with delicate anise overtones. Delicious on the palate with lovely fat, beautiful freshness and long-lingering aromas.

SERVING AND FOOD PAIRING: Serve between 12 and 14°C, not too cold, to enable the aromas to come through. Enjoy with a fish terrine, salmon tartare, seasoned fish or even a middry goat’s cheese.

13% Alcohol

The 2025 Lavau Cotes du Rhone Blanc opens with a fresh, attractive aroma of melon, pear, lemon and some other citrus notes as well as some pleasing floral touches. It’s a nice start.

Tasting the wine reveals it to be smooth with similar flavors to the nose that are a bit more tart in the mouth. Easy to drink, this makes for a good summer white.

It ends crisp, dry and satisfying on the finish. This is a nice little wine!

Review Summary

Attention people, it’s a Perfect 10 Pinot Noir – with plenty of aging potential – at an incredible discount. You don’t want to miss this one.

We’ll let Propietor/Winemaker Andrew Nalle, whose family has been farming grapes in the Dry Creek Valley since 1927, tell you about it:

This is my favorite Pinot since the 2019 vintage. Leads with graceful rose and violet notes, with small Pinot berry cherry and strawberriness, plus complex sweet spices. It’s fun and it has character and depth. Will age because the pH is 3.58. Latest we’ve harvested Hopkins Ranch ever, Sept. 25th and Oct. 3rd.

Aged for 11 months in very expensive French oak (François Frères, Demptos, Alain Fouquet, Éclat and Taransaud), with 30% new barrels, just 441 cases of this beautiful wine were produced. We fell in love right from the first sip.

Normally priced at $62 a bottle, we’ve got an incredible deal for you through our Insider Deal…

And now on to our review:

The 2023 Nalle Russian River Valley Hopkins Vineyard Pinot Noir opens with a very pleasing aroma of black cherry, strawberry, licorice, a little mint and other baking spices plus touches of cedar. It’s a great start.

Tasting the uber-delicious wine reveals similar flavors to the nose with a very smooth and easy mouthfeel. It also has good structure and well-integrated baking spice notes. This is a fantastic Pinot that is just a pleasure to drink.

It ends dry, long and grippy and was just as good on day 2.

We love a good cocktail, especially in the summer. However, we’re not big fans of going through the work to make a really high quality drink.

Much like our popular Modica deal from a few weeks back, today we’re making it really easy to make three fabulously delicious cocktails or mocktails in just seconds.

Here’s what you’ll get in today’s 3-pack of 16oz bottles (10 servings each):

One bottle of the WithCo Ginger Mule mix made with fresh ginger root, fresh lime juice and aromatic bitters. Vodka, Whiskey, Tequila, Mezcal or just about any other alcohol can work in this lovely mix. Loaded with ginger and some nice lime, we loved it. Just add soda water for a excellent mocktail.

One bottle of the WithCo Paloma mix made with fresh grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice and sea salt. Filled with grapefruit notes without being too sweet and sugary, this one also has a nice touch of sea salt. We loved it with tequila. It’s really delicious. Again, just add soda water for a excellent mocktail.

One bottle of the WithCo Bouquet mix that is just dreamy with gin! Made with lavender, fresh lemon juice and dried rose petals and buds this will work with just about any clear spirit but like we said it’s just dreamy with gin. Add a splash of sparkling wine on top to take it up another notch or simply pair it with soda water for a light and tasty mocktail.

These delicious mixes normally retail for $20 each plus around $10 in shipping, but not so today…

Today’s Inexpensive Gourmet Insider Deal gets you the WithCo Variety 3-Pack (one bottle of each flavor) for just $41.95 ($13.98 each) plus FREE SHIPPING! That’s a discount of 42% with shipping.

Here is some more info from WithCo on what they are all about:

Like many great stories, ours starts with a cocktail and good community.

Founders Joshua Ellis and Bradley Ryan established WithCo in Nashville, driven by the idea of bottling cocktails beyond the confines of the bar.

Their motivation stemmed from recognizing a gap in the market for beverages—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic—crafted exclusively from fresh juices and real botanicals. By eliminating additives, concentrates, and “natural flavorings,” they introduced a product that met this need.

WithCo’s journey has been about more than just crafting drinks; it’s been a mission to elevate cocktails and foster connections over a quality libation.

They adopted the simple name WithCo,’ short for ‘With Company.’ Our mission? To encourage people to gather around and build community, one cocktail at a time.

And here are the full labels on each:

Zinfandel from Sonoma County, California. The wine spends an unspecified amount of time in contact with some form of oak.

The 2022 Sonoma Grove Zinfandel is only available at Trader Joe’s and sells for just $7.99.

Like so many of the wines we have been reviewing from TJ’s and Aldi lately, this is another one that comes from Precision Wine Co.

From the bottle:

2022 Sonoma Grove Zinfandel

Sonoma Grove, a rich and elegant wine sourced from Sonoma County, offers vibrant notes of ripe cherries, blackberries, and subtle hints of oak. Known for its smooth finish and balanced acidity, this wine captures the region’s renowned terroir, perfect for any sophisticated palate.

Cellared and Bottled by Sonoma Grove
Precision Wine Co.
14.5% Alcohol

The 2022 Sonoma Grove Zinfandel opens with aromas of jammy dark berry fruit and lots of oak influence (vanilla, chocolate, etc). File this one strictly in the mass market grocery store style of Zin. That’s not necessarily a bad thing if you’re in the mood for it, but it’s not our preferred style.

Tasting the wine reveals it to be slightly sweet, jammy and quite oaky with similar flavors to the nose. It tastes a bit manufactured to me since it’s a bit out of balance and I’m guessing there are some additions here of either powdered oak and/or a bit of sugar in some form (Rubired?). Having said that, somehow it still all works well enough.

It ends mostly dry, soft and oaky with decent length. If you enjoy this style of wine, this is a decent example that shows a bit more restraint at least in the sweetness than some others in this category.

 
As always you can find an updated list of our recommended wines from Trader Joe’s as well as more info on their pricing model and some tips and tricks for shopping the store in our giant guide.

Review Summary

From the winery:

2023 Tooth & Nail Squad Sauvignon Blanc

A Sauvignon Blanc that marches to the beat of its own drum—for those who demand more from their whites.

Tasting notes: The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is electric from the glass with aromas of citrus, pineapple and fleshy peach stone. The mouthfeel is luscious and refreshing, showing flavors of kiwi and green apple with wet slate minerality. Fresh acidity and herbaceous green grass accents linger on the finish with vivid varietal expression. A Central Coast Sauvignon Blanc with attitude.

Winemaking: The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of five targeted picks that spanned from the second week of September through early October—all on the heels of an exceptionally steady growing season on the Central Coast. The early pick was designed to establish a core of bright citrus notes, while the later picks were aimed at accentuating the tropical fruit thiols that are a hallmark of Tooth & Nail Sauvignon Blanc.

The grapes were picked at night and 60 percent of the fruit underwent eight hours of destemmed skin contact to enhance thiol development and elevate the mouthfeel. Fermentation was performed in a mix of stainless steel tanks (52%), French oak barrels (38%), a large oak foudre (6%) and a concrete egg (4%)—allowing for the creation of textural complexities. Fermentation was long and slow, and the separate lots were predominantly aged on their fermentation lees until bottling in June 2024.

Aromas: Citrus, pineapple and peach stone

And now on to our review:

The 2023 Tooth & Nail Squad Sauvignon Blanc opens with a fresh and pleasing aroma of citrus, tropical fruit and green apple without much grassiness at all. It’s a really luscious start!

Taking a sip reveals a rich wine with a smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel with plenty of depth of flavor (which are similar to the nose). Even with the richness and depth, this is still a crisp and lively example of Sauvignon Blanc with good acidity. It’s not an easy feat but they’ve pulled it off remarkably well.

It ends crisp, rich, dry and quite long on the finish. This is just delicious!

Cheers,
Jon

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

“I have tell you that I have been really, really pleased with this whole reverse wine snob endeavor. The info you provided gives me enough to purchase with confidence. The shipping is unbelievably convenient. The wines are right in that price-tag-sweet-spot. And everything has been just as described. Great job.”

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

“Just love your site and the great deals on unique small production vino. You do an outstanding job!”

“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.”

“Wow!! Just got my shipment. It is absolutely tremendous.”

“Another terrific selection from Reverse Wine Snob. Keep up the good work!”

“I’ve bought a ridiculous amount of wine from your deals in the last year…I just want to say that I really appreciate what you guys have done with RWS. I discovered your site looking up Costco wine reviews and have been hooked on your insider deals ever since. I’ve been referring every friend I know.”

“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!)”

“I have been buying your Insider Deals for about 3 years now and we have enjoyed every one of them. They are wines that we never would have found on our own… ”

“The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn’t purchase more.”

“Received my shipment today and just cracked open my first tasting. It blew me away…I guess I have another top pick to my list. Can’t wait for my next glass…”

“You can count on great value from the wines offered.”

“the wine is, in a single word, superb! as have been all other wines offered and purchased since I first learnt about you…”

“love them all so far…Glad we ran across you. Too bad we can not order them all.”

“Also your prices are pretty amazing.”

“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!”

“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??!!”

“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”

“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.”

“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!!”

“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**”

“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!!”

“I’ve gotten quite a few of these and loved them all — keep them coming!”

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

“We purchased several times and have been massively impressed. Thank you.”

“I love your approach to wine and all the great wine finds out there. It’s tempting to order almost every time you send out a deal. Keep up the great work, truly appreciated. ”

“Wish I had doubled my order!”

“By the way, you guys have a great company – smart concept, well executed. I may never have to make another trek to the wine store again. And your customer service is pretty darn good. Thank you. ”

“I am very much enjoying the wines I have been getting from you. I have discontinued all other wine services as the quality of the wines you select seem superior to what I was receiving elsewhere.”

“That’s tremendous…I wish I had tripled my order.”

Nebbiolo from Serralunga d’Alba, Piedmont, Italy. While we don’t know the exact aging on this wine, the Barolo region requires 38 months of aging before release with at least 18 months in oak.

This Kirkland Signature wine is available exclusively at Costco for $19.99. It is imported by Ethica Wines.

Much like the Kirkland Signature Brunello, Champagne and Chateauneuf du Pape, Costco loves to drop these wines from big name regions at prices way below what you would expect to pay. So today we check out their version of one of the most iconic Italian wines out there, Barolo.

We’ve reviewed many vintages of this wine, so today we’re happy to try out the 2022.

As always, we like to try and track down the true producers of these wines as one of the questions hear the most is “Who makes the Kirkland Signature Barolo (or Brunello or CdP, etc)?”. The first hint on this one is the tag that says “Simone Tablino”. An online search reveals that while he appears to have worked for Barolo producer Fontanafredda, it’s not clear if he still does.

Of course, since this is Italian wine, we have much more to go on thanks to the traceability tags on the necks of the bottles.

Plugging these numbers into the online authenticator that covers Barolo (thanks to Angelo Peretti for pointing this out to us) reveals…

The producer of the 2022 is once again the highly respected Fontanafredda.

From the bottle:

Rich garnet red in color with notes of vanilla and rose petal on the nose, this full-bodied Kirkland Signature Barolo delivers notes of black currant and licorice on the palate – and is great for long-term aging.

14.5% Alcohol

The 2022 Kirkland Signature Barolo begins with a pleasing aroma of leather, black cherry and cedar plus a little licorice, black pepper, dried herbs and spice. It’s very similar to the 2021 although it does need a bit of air to be at its best as it is still fairly young.

The medium-bodied wines tastes smooth and has good structure and plenty of acidity. It features similar flavors to the nose, with juicy fruit, a bit of black tea and well-integrated touches of spice.

Firm and even slightly dusty tannins lead into the dry, chewy, tannic and long finish. It’s a harmonious wine that was just as good on day 2. Once again we’ll put it at the high end of our 9 Taste Rating at 92-93 points.

As we’ve noted with just about every vintage of this wine, it still strikes me as a better example of a Langhe Nebbiolo than Barolo. Still, it definitely is an official Barolo and will give you at least a sense for what all the fuss is about and why they can be so expensive. It’s not often you get to do that for just $20.

Review Summary

We’ve been big fans of the Folk Machine label from Hobo Wine Company for years and today we’re very happy to welcome them to our Insider Deals!

They’ve brought with them a wonderful single vineyard Syrah and Grenache blend that is just a pleasure to drink. It is also certified organic by CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) which means it is made with organic grapes and uses organic winemaking (no synthetically sourced materials or additives and low added sulfites).

It comes from a very special vineyard that sits above the fog line in the Chalone AVA of Monterey. Here’s how the winery describes it:

We have been working with Bill Brosseau and the certified organic Brosseau Vineyard in the Chalone appellation off and on for a number of years now. The Brosseau wines offer a terroir driven expression of a single site; high elevation, extremely scarce rainfall, and crushed granite, limestone soils. It is said a million times and I try not to be cliché when I’m writing these things, but this is a truly unique site that mixes California weather with soil types that are more common in European vineyards leading to a wine that is at once Californian with fruit and richness, but also mineral and textural in a way that is not common in California.

Only two puncheons of this 50% Syrah, 50% Grenache beauty were produced. Full of flavor and super drinkable, we particularly enjoyed that just like the European like soils of the vineyard, the alcohol level was very European at just 12.6%.

Normally retailing for $35 a bottle, for the next day you can get it for MORE THAN XX OFF…

Today’s deal gets you 4 bottles of the 2024 Folk Machine Brosseau Vineyard Syrah-Grenache for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle). That’s a discount of XX% saving you over $XX a bottle!

This 4-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV 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.)

Clicking on the Add To Cart button above will take you to our checkout at shop.reversewinesnob.com. Once there you can adjust the quantity of 4-packs in your order. Ends Friday 7/24/2026 at noon (PT). Read on for our full review.

And don’t forget to add on an order of the excellent Five Star Coffee dark roasts while you are checking out! That deal ends Friday at noon as well.

From the winery:

2024 Folk Machine Syrah/Grenache
Brosseau Vineyard, Chalone AVA

This roughly 50/50 blend of Syrah and Grenache is 50% whole cluster (stems included) fermented and aged in 500L puncheons that were not new, but not old enough yet to be neutral. Only 2 puncheons were produced.

2024 was a warm vintage in Chalone producing rich, ripe wines with flavor and depth. Both the Syrah and the Grenache were harvested in the middle of September. The final wine sits at 6.0 g/L titratable with a pH of 3.60.

We are incredibly happy with the 2024 Syrah/Grenache. This wine is dark, rich, and powerful, but moderate in alcohol and surprisingly drinkable.

Bottled 134 cases August 2025.
Certified Organic by CCOF

Produced and Bottled by The Folk Machine
12.6% Alcohol
Cork

And now on to our review:

The 2024 Folk Machine Brosseau Vineyard Syrah-Grenache opens with quite a pleasing aroma full of dark, ripe fruit, touches of smoked meat and a little bit of minerality and earthiness. It’s a great start.

Taking a sip reveals a very tasty, very drinkable wine featuring similar flavors to the nose. Ripe, rich, juicy and tart fruit leads the way in this medium-bodied wine but you’ll also find those other touches from the nose. It is also quite refreshing with only 12.6% alcohol – this is not easy to find these days thanks to climate change.

It ends dry and long on the lip-smacking finish and was just as good on day 2. This is a great find, especially at our deal price.

Cheers,
Jon

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah from Columbia Valley, Washington. While this vintage doesn’t note it, previous vintages have spent around 15 months in French oak.

The Kirkland Signature Series Columbia Valley Red Wine is available exclusively at Costco. While some previous vintages have sold for as high as $16.99, the 2024 is priced at $14.99.

From the bottle:

Kirkland Signature Series Columbia Valley Red Wine

“Showcasing the diversity of the Columbia Valley, this multilayered blend offers wonderful complexity, richness and balance. The Cabernet Sauvignon dominant composition provides impressive structure and depth with pleasant notes of blackberry, tobacco and sage; Merlot contributes a soft mid-palate and dark fruits while Syrah adds color, minerality and spice to the final blend. A dusty layer of refined tannins lingers to extend the wine’s long and harmonious finish.”
Gilles Nicault, Winemaker

Vinted and Bottled by Dolan & Weiss Cellars
14.9% Alcohol

We’ve enjoyed and recommended today’s wine for several vintages now. Like many of the Kirkland branded wines, it is made by a much respected winemaker — in this case Gilles Nicault of Long Shadows Vintners. The blend can change a bit from year to year (at one point it included Sangiovese) but the 2024 appears to be a similar to the last couple vintages in focusing on Cab, Merlot and Syrah – all varieties that do wonderfully in Washington State.

The 2024 Kirkland Signature Series Columbia Valley Red Wine opens with pleasing aromas of blackberry, black cherry, licorice, baking spice, cola, vanilla and mint. It’s a nice start.

Soft and smooth right out of the bottle, the wine features more spice, cola and licorice, plus some oaky dark fruit, leather and a little tobacco. It’s a bit oaky right out of the bottle, but this wine is still young so that is to be expected. It also tastes a bit drier than some of the earlier vintages which seemed to have a bit of residual sugar. Nicely balanced, this is just a pleasure to drink.

It ends with a dry, grippy, oaky, savory finish and was similar on day 2. Overall, this is very similar to the 2023 vintage, which was a definite step up from the 2022. There’s great value here once again.
