#1 Post by **John Cabot** » January 15th, 2018, 3:45 pm

Once again, we are offering a variety of library wines, with a few newbies thrown in. These wines have been quietly resting in our winery since bottling. All wines other than our Pinot Noirs from Anderson Valley are from our organically farmed, own rooted and estate grown vineyards here in Orleans, Klamath River, Humboldt County.
We have slightly lowered the cost of most packs this year and are offering flat rate $20 shipping on 6 packs, $40 shipping on cases. This is our attempt at "meeting you in the middle" when it comes to the cost of direct shipping these days. Many of these wines are the last couple few cases we have in our cellar and wont be offered again, so don't hold back.

Please go to http://www.cabotvineyards.com/2018Berserker.cfm We have berserkerday buttons set up to make it quick and easy. Just click on Berserkerday wines and order straight away.

If any of you have any special requests or questions please feel free to email me directly at johnjcabot3@gmail.com or phone me at 707 496 5381.

fruit.

two nights before posting this and am REALLY happy with the way it has aged. It has that "old school" Cali Cab character, with
graphite, pencil shavings, licorice, and green olive, accompanying the red and black currant, blackberry, dark cherry, cedar,
clove and earth. This is very complex and should go for 5 or more years just fine

2 2009 Confluence- 40% Merlot, 30% Malbec, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Franc- Ishi Pishi Ranch, Orleans-
This wine has come together quite nicely with its purple flower, dark fruit and pepper nose. It is vibrant and juicy, with blue
fruit hinting at strawberry and cherry, showing olive, earth, spice and some earthy, forest notes. the finish shows just a hint
spice from aging on 25% new Hungarian oak

Aged Cab and Friends pack- $160

1 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, Humboldt County, Old Mill vineyard

1 2006 Merlot, Humboldt County, Humboldt County, Old Mill

Pinot pack ordered!

#3 Post by **Leonard Taylor** » January 26th, 2018, 9:19 am

It looks like it is charging $400 for the pinot case.

OOPS! If you click on the Berserker! button on the left it gives you $360. My bad. John, I hope you can fix this for me.

Love your wines, John.

#6 Post by **Mark C** » January 26th, 2018, 10:12 am

Not seeing the Aged Confluence Pack on the page http://www.cabotvineyards.com/2017Beserker.cfm . . .

We can just do the paypal shuffle as in years past if that works for you; send me a PM to confirm!

OMG that Humboldt Vertical Pack is insane.

Not sure Mark. They haven't changed much in the last five years so I assume they'll go another 5-10 just fine.

I'm sorry Mark. That was last year's link. We're all set now.

Just ordered a six pack of zins and the AFWE Syrah.

I'm looking forward to trying them as I enjoyed the zins I bought last year.

Thanks

No problem! Just grab them both like I did. It will be good to get some Cabot Syrah in the cellar. Thanks John.

I'm getting a message from PayPal saying, "Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later". Is anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: I was able to get things to work later.

#21 Post by **Eric Cotte** » January 27th, 2018, 8:03 am

Never had Cabot before, but (a) I've heard too many good things about it to not try, and (b) I'm dating someone who went to school with John's brother, so...

In for a Pinot Pack!

Michael Klein · #22 Post by **Michael Klein** » January 27th, 2018, 8:22 am

In for a Humboldt Syrah vertical! Awesome deal and super excited!

Haha - was thinking the same thing as Peter.

In for the Syrah SVDs - try some Cabots that are a little different from what I've had in past.

Sorry about this. I have no idea what was going on with PayPal. All is well now.

I don't think the problem was with PayPal, but with Internet traffic generally. There are Internet outages all over the U.S. today, including most of the major cities. Traffic is very slow and irregular. I've had problems with many sites loading properly.

Bump.

Cabot Syrahs are the shiz.

If you haven't had them, order them. (unless you like super New-World thick and rich Syrahs, rather than Old School earthy stuff)

#29 Post by **John Cabot** » January 27th, 2018, 10:54 am

Thanks everyone. If anyone has any special requests please don't hesitate to ask. I want to make sure everyone gets what they want.
Cheers

Picked up the SVD pack!

#32 Post by **John Cabot** » January 27th, 2018, 1:49 pm

If anyone wants to make any substitutions of reasonably comparable price range, I'm happy to accommodate.

#33 Post by **I. Howe** » January 27th, 2018, 2:26 pm

In for a Syrah SVD 6 pack. Looking forward to it.

#34 Post by **CJ Beazley** » January 27th, 2018, 2:33 pm

I did the svd Syrah, love these.
Thanks John, great deal.

Thanks you guys for all the orders.

#36 Post by **Scott Wi3gand** » January 27th, 2018, 5:25 pm

Order in for the Humboldt Syrah vertical. I guess I have Todd to blame for this because he just makes these sound so good. I’m very excited to try these.

AndrewH · #37 Post by **AndrewH** » January 27th, 2018, 5:32 pm

I doubt you’ll be disappointed Scott.

Been enjoying these since I went in on Cabot few BDs ago.

K e v i n B. · #38 Post by **K e v i n B.** » January 27th, 2018, 6:18 pm

in for the Cab and Friends pack... couple of these were in a prior year purchase and were stellar for the $$$..

I've had a few people who said they were gone this weekend so I'll keep this open until Monday.

Since this is still open I am going to buy some since I missed BD because I was in NOLA for Krewe Du Vieux (except for Flannery which someone ordered for me).
Which do you prefer for the Syrah? The SVD or the appellation offer?
