RICHARD G PETERSON PINOT NOIR SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS 2023

“Made by Heidi (Peterson) Barrett’s legendary father, from his own small vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands, Amuse Bouche’s 2023 Richard G. Peterson Pinot Noir is a unique wine, made from the Wrotham Clone of Pinot Noir, which Peterson brought over from England in 1980. This is a lithe, medium-bodied wine that is silky and elegant yet imbued with ample complexity: smoky oak frames tea-like herbal notes, interwoven with cranberries and pie cherries.”
