    INSIDER DEAL! Bodega Rancho Bennett Valley Red - Two of Our Favorite Things

    THIS DEAL IS NOW EXPIRED! Sign up below to make sure you get the next one. Learn more about our winery direct INSIDER DEALS here.

    Don't miss our 44% savings on this delicious blend of Syrah and Grenache from a special spot in Sonoma, the Bodega Rancho Bennett Valley Red from JDB Wines.

    INSIDER DEAL! Bodega Rancho Bennett Valley Red - Two of Our Favorite Things

    We love Rhone varieties and of course at the top of that list are Syrah and Grenache. Today, we've got a special one from a family with a whole lot of winemaking history in California.

    The wonderfully aged Bodega Rancho Bennett Valley Red we are offering here is 61% Syrah from the Vivio Vineyard and 39% Grenache from the Jemrose Vineyard, both in the Bennett Valley of Sonoma.

    Bennett Valley is a relatively tiny spot (about 650 acres of vineyards) that was granted AVA (American Viticultural Area) status in 2003. It is one of the coolest areas in Sonoma Valley thanks to the surrounding mountains and hills along with a gap in those mountains that lets in the cool ocean breezes.

    The area has quickly grown a strong reputation for varieties like Syrah and Grenache and today's wine combines the two of them wonderfully.

    J Derek Beitler, the owner and winemaker at JDB Wines (the producer of this wine), also has quite a family history in the wine business. His uncle is Charlie Wagner, founder of Caymus. His brother owns Boheme in Sonoma. Derek started JDB Wines in 2007 and he also co-owns Carne Humana Winery in Napa with his cousin Joey Wagner.

    Combine these premium grapes with this winemaking know-how, and we've got a winner! Aged 3 years in barrel, this wine was built to age and is just entering its peak drinking now. Only 500 cases were made.

    Normally retailing for $40, we're slashing that price by over $16 for the next day…

    Today's Insider Deal gets you 3 bottles of the 2015 Bodega Rancho Red Bennett Valley Red for $69.99, or $23.33 a bottle, a savings of $16.67 per bottle!

    With our extremely reasonable $6.99 shipping you're saving a total of 44%. Buy multiples and you'll still pay just $6.99 in shipping, no matter how many 3-packs you buy. Read on for our full review.

    This 3-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, 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, WV, WI 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.)

    This limited time, winery direct offer ends Wednesday 10/26/2022 at noon (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    2015 Bodega Rancho Bennett Valley Red Wine

    From the winery:

    In 2015 we took a different approach for the Bodega Rancho program, opting to combine all of our Bennett Valley fruit into a single blend - the profound sum of Vivio and Jemrose Vineyard. Beautiful aromatics, supple texture and medium density.

    Produced and Bottled by JDB Wines
    14.0% Alcohol
    Closed with cork

    2015 Bodega Rancho Bennett Valley Red Wine Back Label

    The 2015 Bodega Rancho Bennett Valley Red Wine opens with very attractive aromas of ripe dark fruit, licorice, cinnamon and other baking spice along with a touch of coffee. It's quite nice and gets even better as it has some time to breathe.

    Taking a sip reveals a soft, smooth and balanced wine with lots of rich fruit tinged with well-integrated spice. This is an absolutely delicious blend with all those flavors from the nose representing in the mouth along with a touch a graphite minerality.

    It ends dry, long, a bit grippy and very satisfying. This is drinking wonderfully at 7 years of age. It's even a bit better on day two. We'd put this at the high end of our 9 Taste Rating (closer to 93 points).

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

    "I opened up our first bottle last weekend and was blown away. "

    "Wow!! Just got my shipment. It is absolutely tremendous. "

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

    "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"

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

    "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."

    "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??!!"

    "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!!"

    "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!)"

    "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**"

    "thanks for the deal...this wine is spectacular for $12.50/bottle. I am used to buying big, bold, young cabs or old vine zins and paying considerably more multiples of this price."

    "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!!"

    "My Insider Deal arrived just in time for my celebration tonight and it’s absolutely delicious! Cheers!"

    "Wish I had doubled my order!"

    "I've gotten quite a few of these and loved them all -- keep them coming!"

    "Wow - this wine is amazing!!! Glad I have two more bottles of it!!"

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