Peterson Merlot

This Merlot brings together the plush, silken character the varietal is known for with the added structure and lift that come from the family’s Bradford Mountain vineyard. It’s a wine shaped by intention and site, soft in its approach, yet confidently framed by the mountain’s natural tension. Dusty cherry and savory dried herbs open the nose, joined by fine‑grained oak that adds quiet warmth. The palate is smooth and deep, carrying ripe black cherry, mocha, caramel, and spice before expanding into boysenberry, huckleberry, sweet tobacco, and a touch of fennel at mid‑palate. The integrated structure gives the wine both concentration and grace, resulting in a Merlot that is seductive, balanced, and proudly shareable at any table.
