And it's HALF OFF! Welcome back to this deep, dark, delicious monster. With sell-outs on 3 previous vintages, there's no time to dilly dally on this XX% discount. Get the Two Jakes of Diamonds Petite Sirah (and its 94+ Point, Perfect 10 Taste Rating) from All-Star winemaker Clark Smith while you can.
We're delighted to have this Perfect 10 return after several vintages of being unavailable. In fact, 3 of the previous vintages we have offered (2010, 2012 and 2013) all sold out!
It's easy to see why.
The Diamond Ridge Vineyard in Clear Lake grows Petite Sirah like no other spot we've tasted. In addition, the wine is made by one of our favorite winemakers. It's a combination that can't be beat.
That winemaker is none other than Clark Smith who is responsible for some of our top selling offers of all time.
Today he's offering up this beautiful 100% Petite Sirah (Clone 3) from the aforementioned Diamond Ridge Vineyard. After 42 months in neutral French oak this wine is shaping up to be another amazing one. Just 201 cases were produced.
The wine normally sells for $40 but, of course, you won't pay anywhere near that price through today's deal.
For the next two days you can get 3 bottles of the 2017 Two Jakes of Diamonds Petite Sirah for just $XX.99, a discount of XX%!
Buy multiples and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $6.99 shipping, no matter how many 3-packs you buy.

From the winery:
This incredibly dense but well-mannered Petite Sirah is packed with ripe blueberry and lavender aromas nuanced with sage and Asian spices reflective of our unique terroir. Thanks to its generous yet refined tannins, you can enjoy its massive flavors in its vibrant youth or cellar it for decades for added complexity and mellowing.
This wine is so amazing that sometimes we think we should just grow nothing but Petite Sirah. Although the wine has incredible color and density, the texture is surprisingly soft, round and feminine.
Altitude is good for this variety, which does not fare well in fog, as its thin skin and tightly packed clusters make it prone to rot. In many mountain sites, bright sunlight and water stress lead to extreme tannic hardness, but our cooling afternoon “lake effect” develops and preserves an intense blueberry aroma and prevents field oxidation of anthocyanins, preserving an intense “Purple Haze” appearance.
Our east-facing plantings take advantage of morning sun to burn off any dew but also shelter the fruit from any raisining by the western sun. The cool 2017 vintage accentuated aromatic intensity, and we picked on October 22nd at perfect ripeness.
The wine showed astonishing tannins and some reduction, so we employed micro-oxygenation to refine its tannins while carefully preserving its structure and depth of fruit. After three and a half years in neutral cooperage, a wine of tremendous richness and generosity came together, redolent with lavender and thyme, oozing with blueberry flavors carried by deep, silky tannins and a long, vibrant finish we attribute to our volcanic soils.
Although quite age-worthy, this wine is guaranteed to put a smile on your face right now. Enjoyable with a wide variety of foods – steak, barbeque or a sharp, well-aged cheddar. Or you might just enjoy it “as dinner,” a satisfying meal in itself!

Like a lot of Clark's wines, the 2017 Two Jakes of Diamonds Petite Sirah needs a ton of time to breathe (like all day) but once it does, it turns into a delicious monster. Black cherry, blackberry and other dark fruit plus vanilla, spice, licorice, cedar and even more are revealed in time.
It's actually a fascinating experiment to taste this wine right when it is first opened and then every few hours after that. It's a great study in how a wine can open up. My only caveat is that make sure you save enough for day 2 because once you taste how good it is you'll be wishing you saved more of it!
As the wine breathes it gains balance, complexity and depth and after several hours it is really starting to reveal its deep, dark and delicious treasures. Full of rich, juicy fruit with a lively minerality throughout, it has great depth and well-integrated spice. This is a highly, highly satisfying wine!
It ends dry, very long, savory and delicious. The whole thing was even better on day 2.
