Perfect 10 Petite Sirah! It's a new vintage of one of our most popular deals ever just in time for your spooky celebrations. Better yet, it's 56% off until Tuesday 10/12 at noon. It's the 2019 Stoke's Ghost Petite Sirah.
Of course there's nothing spooky about saving more than $20 a bottle on a big, bold and harmoniously balanced wine with a great label and story to boot!
This wine is a proven winner as well - we offered the previous vintage (2016) three times and have had tons of great feedback every time we've offered it. Here are just a few:
This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon. And $5 shipping for four bottles? You've outdone yourself!
Automatic wine buy on Stoke’s Ghost! Petite Sirah at its best.
Wow – this wine is amazing!!! Glad I have two more bottles of it!!
An awesome Petite Sirah, two bottles left and hoping myself this one shows up again to buy!
Couldn’t resist… just ordered more!!! 3rd time around for me on this truly rewarding Stoke’s Ghost PS Insider Deal. THANKS for bringing it back around! A big, juicy mouthful of flavor in every sip.
The previous vintage had multiple 92-93 point scores from the big names. We agreed giving it a Taste Rating of 9. This newly released vintage (only available through today's deal) hasn't been rated by others yet, but we like it even better giving it a perfect 10 on our Taste Rating scale!
If you'd like to give it a try yourself; however, you better act fast as this sure to be popular Insider Deal vanishes Tuesday 10/12/21 at noon Pacific. (If it doesn't sell out sooner, that is.)
We've got lots more to say on this wine, but for those of you salivating to get your hands on it again, go ahead and click below to order and then come back and read the rest.
And aside from how good the wine inside the bottle is, let's face it, the marketing of a wine is important as well. From the name to the label to the story behind it all, it can make a huge difference in helping a wine to stand out in a giant sea of choices. And while we are all about what is inside the bottle, it's always a bonus when the outside of the bottle is just as good.
Today we've got both - a fabulous wine (made from one of our very favorite varieties) and a great story. It will also make a great wine for your Halloween parties!
Here's the true story from the back label:
James Stokes was a British sailor who jumped ship in Monterey in 1833, passing himself off as a doctor with stolen medicine. Despite killing a significant number of patients, Stokes was appointed personal physician to Governor Jose Figueroa. Within a year, the governor was dead. Stokes' sons confronted him and he ingested poison, falling lifeless at their feet. Stokes' adobe home still stands and a man dressed in 1800s garb is often seen climbing the stairs and passing through the walls. This is Stokes' Ghost.
Estate Grown, Produced and Bottled by Scheid Family Wines
14.5% Alcohol
Talk about a conversation starter, the label even leaves off the part about the "doctor" becoming Mayor of Monterey and his sons being the result of his marriage to the widow of one of his patients!
With an SRP of $40, the average price for previous vintages of this wine on wine-searcher is $35 with wine.com selling it for $54! And as we noted above, no one else even has the 2019 yet.

Stoke's Ghost from Scheid Family Wines is Petite Sirah from their estate vineyard in the Hames Valley at the southern end of Monterey. The wine is aged in American and Hungarian oak for 12 months.
The 2019 Stoke's Ghost Petite Sirah pours super dark and inky in the glass, just as you would expect with a good Petite Sirah.
The very enticing aroma is loaded with tons of dark berry fruit, a little spice and vanilla, violets and more.
This one wakes up your taste buds immediately with a bolt of delicious. It only takes one sip to know that this is truly tasty Petite Sirah, sure to cure whatever ails you. It's full of juicy, dark fruit with nice edges of spice, herbs, vanilla and more.
It is a big and bold wine like you'd expect from Petite Sirah but completely balanced as well. With a smooth and silky mouthfeel and slightly chewy tannins everything just works together quite harmoniously.
It ends dry and a bit grippy with a savory finish that hangs around for a very long time, just begging you to take another sip.
Big, dark, deep and super delicious, overall this vintage retains the superb balance of the 2016 while still managing to turn everything up a notch as well.
This is some good medicine and a sure remedy for boring reds. If the good doctor was as inviting and reassuring as this wine, it's easy to see how he lured so many people into his web! I love it.
2019 STOKE'S GHOST PETITE SIRAH
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
