The Richard G. Peterson 2015 Pinot Noir is a blend of two distinct clones - 50% R-4 clone and 50% Wrotham clone, which Dick Peterson brought back from England in 1980. His Old-World, elegant Burgundian-style Pinot Noir offers undertones of earthy minerality with flavors of black currants, cardamom, fresh porcini mushrooms and smoked meats. This wine is beautiful now, but it will age gracefully for years to come.
