WINE DESCRIPTION

Richard G. Peterson Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Richard G. Peterson, a renowned winemaker with over 40 years of experience. This Pinot Noir is sourced from select vineyards in the Sonoma Coast appellation, known for its cool climate and maritime influence. The vineyards are characterized by their well-draining soils and low yields, resulting in concentrated and complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle handling, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's elegance and balance. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Pinot Noir, with aromas of red fruit, spice, and earth, and a silky texture on the palate.

ORIGINS

Winery: Richard G. Peterson

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
