Dark coloor, rich flavor-- excellent
Great expression of Australian Shiraz! Incredible depth on the nose, including: blackberry, blueberry, cocoa, cracked pepper, clay, and subtle hints of toasted nuts.
On the palate: dark chocolate covered black fruits shine through the low acidity. Followed by a black pepper spice, and finishes with grippy tannins begging for another sip.
I paired this with a pepper crusted ribeye to experience a classic pairing. The cracked pepper flavor became magically muted and, instead of becoming overwhelming, somehow highlighted even more blackberry flavor, which complimented the fat from the ribeye amazingly and almost had me convinced I was eating a tender pork chop instead of beef.
Even without the food pairing, I knew after my first taste that I’d be wanting another bottle (especially at $20!!!)

from 1638 reviewsWe were pleasantly surprised by this lush, full-bodied and very drinkable wine.
Great tasting and smooth. My first time trying Blanco Malbec. Strongly recommended for Sunday brunch
A very nice blend, providing serious complexity and high drink ability.
This organic white is my go-to for almost everything. It's clean with minimal aftertaste.
Very light and crisp
Easy-drinking. Great value.
It’s one of my favorites. Fresh and light and flavorful.
Always a great value and variety!
Really nice Bordeaux, good structure, definitely ageable.
Great selection at a great price. I've only sampled two of the premiums so far and both were excellent. Of course the selects are always a treat too.
It’s just really good wine. Fruit and body. Love it.
Delicious Saviongnes grapes to make this impeccable chianti 🍇 I would gladly buy this from the wine cellar again!
I thought the wine selection was excellent and a very good value. I was initially disappointed when I got home and checked the wines, only to find that there were three bottles of Premium wines instead of the four that had been advertised.
However, after contacting the store, they immediately apologized for the oversight and asked me to return so they could correct the mistake. To my surprise, the missing Premium bottle was replaced with one from their Ultimate Selection, which I truly appreciated.
Every company — and every person — makes mistakes from time to time. What separates first-class businesses is how they respond and make things right. That’s exactly what The Wine Cellar at Rye Ridge did.
Thank you from a satisfied long-term customer.
This is one of my favorite Zinfandel! Very smooth
This smooth chardonnay is my new favorite!
