Arbios Cellars Vertical Cabernet Sauvignon Case
$299.99 $696.00 57% off List Price
Listen Up! 10 of the bottles in this case are set. The other 2 bottles will be randomly selected by the winery during fulfillment. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Very cool offer! Being a little OCD, the first thing I did was figure out which vintages are missing from the vertical. If you’re curious, they are 1994, 1997, 2007, 2008 (and anything before 1993 or after 2009). Of course, you will also get only 2 of the following 3 vintages; 1999, 2000, 2001 or possibly even 2 bottles of just one of those vintages since it’s randomly selected.
This looks very interesting. Have never tried these wines. Someone post some tasting notes and I might be in. My wife will tell me I don’t need anymore but I can ask for forgiveness…
Sorry about that MD & SC, we are a small winery and having the licenses for every state does not make sense…can ship to NC & VA! Notes for each of the wines are on our web site www.ArbiosCellars.com

woah… looking at the ct notes… might give this a try if they were offered at $150 for the case…

Ct notes actually look pretty good in general. I would say the variation on some of it to people trying it either to early or simply not liking a big mountain a cabernet. These type of wines often need a lot of time in bottle to settle down.
Numbers look good. It’s a nice offer, if you like cab and have some extra cash I bet this is a win.
I see the winery has stopped by, I’m curious as to the origins of this offer. Is the winery going out of business or sold or is it an attempt to create a short term cash flow for life things. Because it appears you are liquidating your library which is often not a good sign.
I have no more space for wine, no more dollars allocated to wine purchases, and “promised” myself not to commit any more Woot Crimes until Spring… yeah, I’m in.

I’m in one of this offer’s sad states, so doesn’t affect me. But my read was the 10 vintages plus two (or double) of any of the 13 vintages. Given the word “potential” in
You have the potential to receive two of the following for your remaining (Randomly Selected):
instead of “will”.
Or maybe I’m being CDO (Like OCD, but the letters are in the correct alphabetical order, as they should be).

We are not going anywhere. We just had held on to more library wines that we needed and felt a vertical case would be a fun offering.
Wow - would make for a big night to blow though this vertical!
I wonder if the winery has considered putting up on Woot multiples of a vintage - eg a 3-pack of 98? I can just tell if I go in on this - I’ll like one vintage and be sad I don’t have another bottle!

I think the fun of this offering is that each vintage is THE SAME vineyard and 100% Cabernet Sauvigon made from start to finish by one guy, my husband Bill. The variations in the vintages are pretty slight as it is just a factor of weather. And the bottle age on these Cabs makes them really smooth.
Super interesting offer, but do think you would have struck more interest by previewing with a current release or at least smaller set and then offering this vertical a few months later. Hard to commit to a case of a wine that havent tried before. That said very interesting and creative offer.

This is actually very cool.
We recently did a 25 year vertical with Cathy Corison. That was to long remember.
