About Peterson Winery: “At Peterson winery, the winemaking process begins while the grapes are still on the vines. Zero Manipulation is a discipline the Petersons follow to capture the character and balance of inherent in the grapes. Zero Manipulation means using the most gentle, traditional winemaking practices possible to maximize the flavors, aromatics and texture of the wines. Fred and Jamie celebrate vintage differences and don’t tweak or homogenize the wine to obtain consistency of flavors, a common practice in mass-market wineries. For Fred and Jamie, Peterson Winery is all about the wines. But if you look a little deeper, you’ll see the heart and soul that goes into every bottle.”

TASTING NOTES:
GSM - “A rich spicy blend of ripe berries offers playful, tempting aromatics that invite you to sip. The spice and fruit found in the nose continue on the palate with a bright core of raspberry, strawberry, blackberry and cherry woven with the perfect sprinkling of black pepper and baking spices. Hints of mineral, cedar, tobacco and dusty mocha, along with dark undertones from the integrated tannins and oak, provide depth and complexity while balancing the bright flavors.” (AbV 14.4%, pH 3.41, TA 0.68 g/100mL)

Zero Manipulation - “Enticing aromatics of bright mixed berries and brown baking spices merge with earth and oak notes. The light, fresh entry flows into a robust mid-palate. Savor blackberry, strawberry, and raspberry flavors fused with hints of tobacco and leather and framed by softening tannins and hints of oak. Traces of huckleberry and fine herbs appear as the wine hits the finish and lingers.” (AbV 13.7%, pH 3.38, TA 0.68g/100mL)

Carignane - “Heady aromatics of fresh-picked plum and dried strawberry mingle with hints of brown baking spices. A full-flavored entry showcases a lovely mix of juicy berries — wild blackberry, fresh strawberry and black raspberry — bathed in bright, mouthwatering acidity. The solid structure of mountain grown fruit, with just a hint of mineral essence, appears near the finish as the flavors linger.” (AbV 14.1%, pH 3.39, TA 0.71 g/100mL)

BARRELS: 22 - 24 months in French oak, mostly neutral.
