Tasting Notes
Aromas of cranberries, bakers spice and crushed strawberries. Bright acidity holds the red fruit flavors together well, there's a touch of earth and forest floor to this wine that adds complexity. The finish is long and intense, evolving from red fruits to more nuanced wet earth and clay. 7-10 years with careful cellaring.

Vineyard Notes
The Petersen Vineyard is situated in the Sebastopol Hills area of the Sonoma Coast appellation. The site is endowed with Goldridge soils (a type of sandy loam) which are ideal for growing Pinot Noir grapes of great complexity. The vineyard is located at higher elevation where the vines are challenged by the extreme conditions, resulting in grapes rich with tannins and color.

Winemaker Notes
The Petersen Vineyard has always been a darling in our mind because It conveys ample character, each and every year, in part due to the clonal selection of Pinot Noir, and the distinctive Goldridge soils of the vineyard. Our focus is to guide the vineyard's expression through optimal barrel selection and mindful aging and integration of the wine to convey the essence of the Sonoma Coast.
