INSIDER DEAL! Peterson Tollini Vineyard 94-97 Point Reds <$15 A BOTTLE!

Just $14.99 a bottle for these two single vineyard, Bulk Buy rated, Perfect 10s. These uber-delicious, naturally made beauties are dry-farmed and each spend 21 months in oak.

One of most popular wineries returns with the 94+ Point Zero Manipulation Red Blend and the 97-Point Mendo Blendo Red Blend. And thanks to our 38% discount they have an absolutely massive Overall Rating on our scale. This is value defined!

When we say this is one of our most popular wineries, we mean it. In fact, previous offers of the Tollini Vineyard reds have sold out in just hours! Here’s what’s included in today’s 6-pack:

• 3 bottles of the 2022 Peterson Tollini Mendo Blendo, a wine we’ve been wanting to offer for years and are delighted to bring to you today. This blend of 46% Syrah, 42% Petite Sirah, 8% Grenache and 4% Carignane was aged 21 months in 28% new and 72% neutral oak barrels. It received a 97-point score from the 2025 Press Democrat North Coast Wine Challenge where it also was awarded Best in Class and Double Gold. The definition of savory, we agree giving it an easy Perfect 10 Taste Rating (94+ points). Just 525 cases were produced.
• 3 bottles of the 2021 Peterson Tollini Zero Manipulation, a perennial favorite blend of 60% old vine Carignane plus 33% Grenache and 7% Syrah aged 21 months in neutral oak barrels. A bit lighter than the Mendo Blendo but certainly not short on flavor, we also give this deep, savory and balanced wine an easy Perfect 10 Taste Rating (94+ points). Just 270 cases were produced.

Both wines come from the dry-farmed Tollini Vineyard in Redwood Valley, Mendocino and are made in a way that lets the true goodness of the grapes shine through — unfined, unfiltered and with no additives (meaning they are also vegan). Here’s how the winery describes the Zero Manipulation blend (although this also applies to the rest of their wines as well):

Zero Manipulation is a combination of intention as well as practice. Each year is slightly different, and our goal is to express that variation (while still making a wine that tastes good), and not having a preconceived notion of the wine being exactly the same each year. We don’t add enzymes, tannins, acid, etc., and don’t fine or filter these wines (or treat with velcorin, or lysozyme, or gum arabic, or or or…). SO2 is used after fermentation and at bottling though with switching to screw caps and lower oxygen pickup, we can get away with less.

The less you do in the course of a wine’s tenure in the cellar, the more of the grape’s, vineyard’s, and vintage’s essence you’ll have to bottle. Every time you do something to a wine, you take out a little of what you started with.

Perhaps even more incredible is that both of these wines normally retail for just $24! That’s an astounding price for this level of quantity. And for the next two days you can get it for even less…

For the next two days you can get Peterson Tollini Reds 6-pack (3 bottles of each wine) for just $89.95 ($14.99/bottle). That’s a discount of 38% saving you $54!

Let’s take a look at the 2022 Peterson Tollini Mendo Blendo first. You will receive 3 bottles in today’s 6-pack.

From the winery:

2022 Peterson Tollini Mendo Blendo
Tollini Vineyard, Mendocino County

Fred’s (Peterson) Vintaged View: Our Mendo Blendo reflects the two realities inherent in all interesting wines: place and people. The place being Mendocino County and the people (besides Jamie and myself) being Alvin and Sally Tollini, who grew the grapes that produced this wine. Though we would never trade living in and producing wines from Dry Creek Valley, I’ve always enjoyed Mendocino County, its people, and its wines.

Mendocino County winegrowing is an important part of my history. I began my winegrowing career in December 1973 as a vineyard worker for Frey Vineyards in Mendocino’s Redwood Valley. We began producing our Zero Manipulation wine from the Tollini’s Home Ranch “Wild Vines” Carignane in 2000, and have produced it every year since. Alvin Tollini is a third generation Redwood Valley grower and a wonderful person, as well as an exceptional grape grower.

Since 2008, when Alvin first offered me some of his Petite Sirah grapes, Mendo Blendo was created with Tollini Mendocino Petite Sirah at its core. For the 2022 vintage, the blend’s core is split between Syrah (46%) and Petite Sirah (42%), with 8% Grenache and 4% Carignane rounding out the flavors. The grapes remain 100% from Tollini Vineyard. We named this wine Mendo Blendo to reflect its origins with a wink and a nod to Mendocino’s other agricultural crop of note.

Tasting Notes: Dark, concentrated aromas of plum and blackberry mingle with the scent of kid-glove leather. A light, refreshing entry flows in dark flavors mid-palate that continue into the finish. Bright acidity and hints of oak frame the flavors, lending a mouthwatering quality to the wine. Black plum, boysenberry, cherry and blueberry fuse with traces of dried strawberry, black tea, dried fine herbs and blood orange. This blend offers the depth, layers and quality of a fine French Rhône red, but without the price tag.

Enjoy with hearty fare like seafood gumbo, kale and white bean stew or lamb tagine with green olives and lemon served with saffron rice.

The 2022 Peterson Tollini Mendo Blendo opens with a strong, intoxicating aroma of dark ripe berry fruit and spice plus a little leather, cedar, mint, vanilla and more. This is savory from the first sniff. It’s a great start.

Tasting the wine reveals that this is indeed definition of savory! We’ve loved this blend for years and are very happy we finally get to offer it to you. This full-bodied wine offers great depth and acidity with lots of layers to discover. It’s rich, dark, spicy, juicy, balanced and delicious and features similar flavors to the nose. This one has everything. This is just insane quality for the price.

It ends dry, super long, a bit grippy and savory with all the flavors from the palate lingering for quite a while. It was just as good on day 2. Fantastic!

 
Next, let’s take a look at the 2021 Peterson Tollini Zero Manipulation first. You will receive 3 bottles in today’s 6-pack.

From the winery:

2021 Peterson Tollini Zero Manipulation
Tollini Vineyard, Mendocino

Jamie Peterson’s Vintaged View: Our Zero Manipulation is blended using 100% Tollini Vineyard fruit, and is the first in our line of wines honoring this great vineyard and farmer/friend to the north. We’ve produced Zero every year since 2000 using old vine Carignane as the dominant varietal, and in 2021 it makes up 60% of the blend.

From this core of spicy, zippy red fruit flavors, we’ve added layers of depth, complexity and balance with Grenache and Syrah. Our goal in the blend is to create a wine that is a true bistro wine—tasty, food friendly, full of soul and almost refreshing, without ever becoming heavy. As our original t-shirt proclaimed, this wine is always “easy to use and cheap to operate.”

Tasting Notes: This Rhône blend is both serious and playful, starting with dark-toned aromas of black raspberry and dried strawberry layered with subtle baking spices, kid leather and sage. Bright, fruit-forward flavors fill the palate with blackberry, blueberry, strawberry and raspberry, along with just a hint of orange citrus appearing late. The fresh flavors carry an undertone of brown spices, black pepper and just a trace of earthy molasses. Lively acidity and integrated oak provide the perfect framework for this easy-sipping, medium-bodied wine.

An easy wine to match up with carne asada tacos, barbecue chicken pizza, bacon cheeseburgers and so much more.

The 2021 Peterson Winery Tollini Vineyard Zero Manipulation begins with a really enticing, succulent, harmonious aroma of black cherry and blackberry with plenty of spice, cola and vanilla. This one literally sucks you right into the glass and once you’re there it’s hard to get your nose out of it!

Taking a sip reveals quite a lovely, flavorful blend full of deep, savory black cherry, black raspberry and blackberry. It’s medium-bodied, wonderfully balanced, smooth, lightly spicy and easy to drink. It’s rather elegant really, but still quite quaffable which is not an easy feat to achieve. It also has a bit of tannic grip. A tad on the young side still, it gets better and better as it has more air.

It ends dry, a bit grippy and very, very long and lively with light spice under the lasting juicy fruit. I love it and it was even a bit better on day 2. And while it’s drinking absolutely wonderfully now, we know from experience that it will get even better with a couple more years of bottle age. This is always a favorite!

Cheers,
Jon

“Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn’t I buy 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!!”

“Wish I had doubled my order!”

“By the way, you guys have a great company – smart concept, well executed. I may never have to make another trek to the wine store again. And your customer service is pretty darn good. Thank you. ”

“I am very much enjoying the wines I have been getting from you. I have discontinued all other wine services as the quality of the wines you select seem superior to what I was receiving elsewhere.”

“That’s tremendous…I wish I had tripled my order.”

“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 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!)”

“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… ”
