PETER’S VINEYARD, NAPA VALLEY

“From the heart of our Mayacamas Estate, this delicious light red has a delicate bouquet of dried cherries, pomegranate, and rosewater. The vibrant acidity layers seductively with mountain minerality and soft tannins inviting sip after sip. Versatile for wine lovers and cuisine, this lovely classic Italian varietal will leave you wanting more.” – Justin Carr

GROWING SEASON

The growing season was marked by a wet spring, resulting in extended flowering in some areas throughout the valley. The early summer was cool and mild allowing gradual ripening and acid development. Winemakers had to wait, watch and let berry chemistry and flavors come into balance before starting a relatively late harvest.
