From the winery:
The 2021 Ovis Betsy’s Vineyard Petite Sirah is a full-bodied wine with a deep, dark hue and a nose rich in blackberries, blueberries, dark plums, violet, cocoa, and a hint of black pepper. It’s ideal for umami or fat-driven dishes like steak or stroganoff, it benefits from decanting and is best enjoyed at room temperature within the next five years.
INSPIRATION: Ovis (Latin for sheep) is a small lot of wine that pays homage to the flock of sheep that help control the cover crops and weeds in the vineyards. The sheep and the dedicated Great Pyrenees guard dogs are the foundation of Clay Shannon’s sustainable farming practices. His love of protecting mother earth creates fertile lands that produce this extraordinary wine that he and his family offer to you with pride.
VINTAGE: In 2021, we experienced mild spring weather and early blooms, followed by a heatwave from May to July. Despite the drought, our sheep helped retain soil moisture, resulting in an early harvest from August 12th to October 20th, producing small but highly concentrated berries. This vintage promises exceptional depth and intensity.

And now on to our review:
The 2021 Ovis Betsy’s Vineyard Petite Sirah pours super dark and inky in the glass just like a good Petite Sirah should. The aroma is filled with blackberry, blueberry, violets, lots of baking spice plus notes of vanilla, chocolate, cedar, licorice and much more as you swirl and sniff. It’s a wonderful start!
Just like the 2019 we previously offered, it only takes one sip to know this is a fantastic Petite Sirah. It’s just delicious. Big, super deep, chewy and tannic but also super smooth, it’s filled with juicy fruit and has wonderful depth and complexity. And while it has plenty of aging potential (10+ years), it is almost irresistible now with great balance for how young it is.
It ends dry, very long, chewy and lasting and was just as good on day 2. I love this, it’s uber-delicious!
Cheers,
Jon

Here’s what people are saying about our Insider Deals:
“I’ve bought a ridiculous amount of wine from your deals in the last year…I just want to say that I really appreciate what you guys have done with RWS. I discovered your site looking up Costco wine reviews and have been hooked on your insider deals ever since. I’ve been referring every friend I know.”
“I have been buying your Insider Deals for about 3 years now and we have enjoyed every one of them. They are wines that we never would have found on our own… ”
“The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn’t purchase more.”
“Received my shipment today and just cracked open my first tasting. It blew me away…I guess I have another top pick to my list. Can’t wait for my next glass…”
“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, in a single word, superb! as have been all other wines offered and purchased since I first learnt about you…”
“love them all so far…Glad we ran across you. Too bad we can not order them all.”
“Also your prices are pretty amazing.”
“Hey Jon! You do great work. I’ve bought a bunch of the Insider Deals and probably 80% of the wine I drink comes from them. Great values!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!!”
