Peterson 2006 Bradford Mountain Vineyard Gravity Flow Block Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $45
A big, deeply flavored, extraordinarily ripe Syrah, brimming with blackberries, black currants, chocolate, licorice and black pepper, all of it enhanced with the sweet-smoky taste of oak. Impresses not only for its size, but for balance and finesse. Just terrific now, and should age well for six years or so.

Peterson 2007 Home Farm Lipton-Daniel Vineyard Muscat Blanc (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Dark gold in color, this very sweet dessert wine has intense flavors of apricot nectar, pineapple-infused crème brûlée, vanilla frosting and butterscotch. It’s rich, but balanced with a squeeze of lime acidity.

Peterson 1997 Bradford Mountain Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $21
Firm, ripe and fruity, with a nice mix of plums, berries and earth. The mountain fruit shows good acids, some mineral elements, and a long, complex finish with a fair amount of earth and barnyard. A distinctive, earthy style.

Peterson 2005 Bradford Mountain Vineyard Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $32
This is an enormously fruity Zinfandel that offers a flood of flavor, making it instantly likeable. Dry, full-bodied and tannic, it’s powerful in briary blackberries, cherries, currants, cola, anise, pepper and cinnamon, with an edge of sweet, smoky oak and cocoa. Should develop over the next 6–8 years.

Peterson 1999 Merlot (Dry Creek Valley)
- $24
From this well-regarded Sonoma County appellation, a ripely fruity wine, brimming with plum, blackberry, tobacco and spice aromas and flavors. It’s rich, but balanced by finely intricate tannins and very nice acids. There’s a harmony and balance that make it fun to drink.

Peterson 2006 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $22
This is a big, strong, exuberant Zindandel that shows Dry Creek’s briary, brambly personality at its best. It’s a dry, full-bodied, tannic wine, with flavors of blackberries, cherries and currants. Black pepper, star anise and cinnamon provide the exotic spices. It’s quite a good, rich Zinfandel at a very good price.

Peterson 1999 Bradford Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
- $28
Here’s a young Cabernet with lots going for it, in the melange of berry and earth flavors and nice structure. Tannins are firm and fine, and the overlay of smoky oak fits like a glove. Pleasant now, but those tannins suggest rich, well-marbled meat.

Peterson 1999 Floodgate Vineyard Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- $28
There’s nothing delicate about the massive flavor explosion, with mingled notes of raspberries, cherries and blackberries, with peppery, gingery spices. It’s big, bold and brassy, but the tannins are light and silky, which makes it float on the palate despite the fruit.
