    By: Jon Thorsen Published: May 30, 2022 Last Updated: June 1, 2022

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

    Save 44% on a pair of Perfect 10's! Frog's Tooth Winery returns with a new vintage of their hedonistically good Petite Sirah plus an explosive Malbec from the Sierra Foothills of California.

    INSIDER DEAL! Frog's Tooth Malbec and Petite Sirah - Flavor Monsters

    Now this is what we're talking about.

    We're huge fans of wines from the Sierra Foothills and today we've got a couple of irresistible examples from Frog's Tooth Winery. Normally priced well above our price range at $36 and $34 a bottle, now's your chance to save a total of $70!

    We heard how much you loved the 2017 vintage of the big, full-bodied Petite Sirah when we offered it a few months ago. Not only does today's deal net you a huge discount on two bottles of the Perfect 10 2018 Petite Sirah but it also includes two bottles of the explosively good Perfect 10 2018 Malbec, also highly discounted.

    We adored both of these wines and we're certain you will to. The sell-out potential on this deal is very high. Keep on reading for more info on each wine and our full reviews.

    Today's 4-pack deal gets you 2 bottles of the 2018 Frog's Tooth Petite Sirah AND 2 bottles of the 2018 Frog's Tooth Malbec for $84.99 plus $5 shipping.

    After shipping, that's a total savings of 44% or $70! Buy multiples and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $5 shipping, no matter how many 4-packs you buy.

    This 4-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IN, LA, MA, MD, ME, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TX, VT, WA, WV, WI and WY. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery. Future deals may have more or less states available.)

    This limited time, winery direct offer ends Wednesday 6/1/2022 at noon (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    Clicking on the buy button above will take you to the site winedealmaker.com to checkout. If you don't see the embedded buy box click here to order.

    The first half of today's 4-pack is 2 bottles of the estate grown 2018 Frog's Tooth Petite Sirah. The wine is aged in 60% French and 40% American oak and only 147 cases were produced.

    2018 Frog's Tooth Petite Sirah

    From the bottle:

    Since 2003, our family has been cultivating the vineyards at Frog's Tooth in the beautiful Sierra Foothills. We believe the climate, elevation, and our dedication to hand sorting every varietal allows us to produce the finest wines in the region.

    Being a product of the Sierra Foothills himself, winemaker Will SavoieHoule strives to ensure each bottle represents a true taste of the region. We know your family will enjoy this wine as much as ours does. Cheers!

    14.2% Alcohol

    2018 Frog's Tooth Petite Sirah Back Label

    The 2018 Frog's Tooth Petite Sirah pours dark and inky in the glass, just like a good Petite Sirah should.

    It opens with loads of dark fruit (blackberry and blackcurrant mainly) plus plenty of well integrated spice, licorice, leather, and more. It's quite attractive and savory in an almost hedonistic way.

    Tasting reveals a big, full-bodied, rich and flavorful Petite Sirah but not in over-the-top way thanks to its excellent balance. It features a smooth and velvety mouthfeel and just an abundance of flavors that are similar to the nose.

    It ends dry, vibrant, a bit tannic and quite long with lots of lively, rich, juicy fruit that lasts and lasts. I love it and it was just as good on day 2.

    The other half of today's 4-pack is 2 bottles of the 2018 Frog's Tooth Malbec aged 50% in American oak and 50% in neutral oak. Just 115 cases were produced.

    2018 Frog's Tooth Malbec

    From the bottle:

    Our winemaker, Will SavoieHoule, carefully utilizes modern vineyard practices, and handcrafts each varietal with numerous blending evolutions. We search for grapes from the best vineyards for harvesting as we are addicted to perfecting every vintage. When you open our wine, enjoy a full-flavor bouquet and a unique velvety finish. We are proud to have created each wine specifically for you to enjoy!

    Produced and Bottled by Frog Tooth's Vineyards
    14.5% Alcohol

    2018 Frog's Tooth Malbec Back Label

    Pouring nice and dark and inky, the 2018 Frog's Tooth Malbec begins with a big, aromatic nose that sucks you right into the glass. Ripe black cherry, blackberry, plum and plenty of baking spice notes plus touches of licorice, mint, earth, chocolate, vanilla and more all strut their stuff.

    Taking a sip reveals that, wow, this is full of flavor! It's so rich and juicy that it just explodes in your mouth. Featuring similar flavors to the nose but more tart in the mouth, the full-bodied wine has tremendous depth, good acidity and a smooth, vibrant mouthfeel.

    It ends dry and very long with lasting fruit and hints of tobacco.

    The wine is still a bit young at this point, but is really excellent after a couple hours of air and should get even better with some age. We did find a bit of sediment on the bottom of the cork so you may want to filter the first glass or at least pour carefully. It also paired amazingly with our Crumbl Cookie Dark Dream chocolate cookie.

    What a fantastic pair of wines, get them while you can!

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

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

    "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. And $5 shipping for four bottles? 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 $5 or $10 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."

    "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."

    "This Insider Deal was the best ever. This wine is amazing!!! Strongly recommend."
