- Inviting aromas of wild red fruits, hints of spice and a rustic minerality lead to luscious layers of raspberry, strawberry, floral notes and pomegranate, surrounded by a subtle structure and a touch of licorice on the finish.
Zero Manipulation is the winemaking philosophy that is employed on all Peterson wines, using the gentlest winemaking techniques possible to maximize flavors, aromas and the original essence of the grapes from the given vineyard and vintage. Fermentation took place with spontaneous fermentation with natural, indigenous yeasts. The wine was then barrel aged for 22 months in 100% neutral 225-liter barrels, mostly of French origin and of sixth fill up to 12th fill. Bottled without fining or filtration.
Owner Fred Peterson is an iconoclast with an old-world winemaking philosophy and a devotion to sustainable farming. With decades of expertise, between 1985 to 1990, he was the Vineyard Manager of the legendary Ridge Vineyards. The Peterson approach is to capture the essence of vintage and vineyard, a philosophy they call ‘Zero Manipulation’, with low tech, yet high touch winemaking techniques to produce artisanal wines of a place: wines with soul. Based in the Dry Creek Valley in northern Sonoma County, Peterson Winery was established in 1987. Fred’s son Jamie became assistant winemaker in the summer of 2002 and by 2006, Jamie was given the overall responsibility of winemaker. As a team, Fred and Jamie meticulously assess the grapes from each vineyard and vintage, evaluating how the weather, soil and site are interacting for the particular vintage. The duo pours their heart and soul into every bottle, producing beautifully balanced wines which truly reflect the time and the place.
