Vinous 96 points! Highest ever, we think...and $32.95, with free ground shipping on 3+ bottles!! You know our deep, passionate love for Ridge wines, and this is a colossal no-brainer if you love beautifully made, big-yet-balanced old-school, old-vine Petite. We can’t believe the price! Now, the review said “stunning” twice, so he must be as stunned and gobsmacked as we are when you consider $33, free ground shipping on 3, the score and, well, RIDGE!! Our deep love affair with this winery goes back, on a personal level, to the year 2000, when I was 50/50 on taking a job up there at the Monte Bello winery tasting room manager. I was deeply torn. I met and drank an old bottle of Lytton Petite Sirah (‘86 I think) with Paul Draper (THE Paul Draper). Anyway, I ended up selling wine online and the rest is history. BUT...RIDGE. I’m deliriously happy. It is an American original, an American classic.The oldest vines in this wine are from 1901. I promise, a worthy wine to age and drink for decades to come. PLEASE, please, people, you NEED to try some chili or roast pork to tame this amazing beast. While it lasts!
