AMUSE BOUCHE® Richard G Peterson Brut Rose 2004 (Napa Valley, California) – [WE 93] [WS 92] – 6045328769183

Notes from the Winemaker:
Nearly a decade ago, we began to incubate a dream, to craft our vision of what will become the most lauded sparkling wine produced in the Napa Valley. Today, we present to you our Richard G. Peterson 2004 Brut Rosé, produced in the methode champenoise style, aged 7 years on the yeast en triage prior to disgorging. The artist: the iconic Dick Peterson. (Yes… father to Heidi Peterson Barrett.). The source: 100% Pinot Noir planted in 1995 on the Dick Peterson estate in Yountville in the heart of Napa Valley.

The Richard G. Peterson 2004 Brut Rosé is crisp, dry with firm acidity, boasting flavors of citrus, strawberries, brioche toast and a hint of cardamom spice. It is ready to enjoy now or to cellar for twenty years from vintage date.

93 Points & Cellar Selection – Wine Enthusiast:
“Legendary vintner Dick Peterson made this rosé from 100% Pinot Noir grown at his vineyard in Yountville. It’s light, crisp and elegant, with intricately layered flavors of strawberries, raspberries, yeast, brioche and vanilla. The mousse is very fine, the finish long and complex. Even at the age of nine years, it’s nowhere near ready. Try after 2019.” -S.H. (9/1/2013)

92 Points – Wine Spectator:
“Makes a bold statement, with floral strawberry and almond brioche aromas, offering full-bodied yet balanced citrus, graham cracker and cinnamon flavors.” -TF (Dec 15, 2013)
