Peterson Winery returns with another Perfect 10 beauty! Don’t miss the utterly delicious and newly released 2022 Peterson Bradford Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
We’re always happy to welcome Peterson Winery back to our Insider Deals and today we’ve got another beautiful, very small production (just 375 cases) estate wine.
If you got in on our offer of the previous vintage of this wine then you know just how good it is, garnering scores as high as 95 points. And while this newly released vintage doesn’t have any outside scores yet, we liked it at least as much as the 2021, giving it a Perfect 10 (94+ point) Taste Rating.
As always, these small batch wines are produced using Peterson Winery’s “zero manipulation” philosophy eschewing additives and letting the true flavors of the grape and the particular vintage shine through. (And since they are not fined or filtered, they are also vegan friendly).
The result?
No soulless wines indeed!
The wine also spent an astounding 31 months in French oak, 50% of which was new, and correspondingly retails for $50 a bottle. Not so today…
For the next day you can get 3 bottles of the 2022 Peterson Bradford Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon for $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle). That’s a discount of XX% saving you $XX per bottle!

Jamie Peterson’s Vintaged Views & Vineyard Notes:
This is our most terroir-driven wine: a Peterson wine that shouts out its origin with every sip. Our Bradford Mountain vineyards produce wine grapes with a unique and very recognizable minerality. That expression or sense of place reaches its apex in the Bradford Mountain Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.The cuttings for this vineyard were brought when we moved from Mount Eden in the Santa Cruz Mountains in the 1980’s. This selection, taken by Dr. Rixford in the 1880’s from Chateau Margaux, was planted at his La Questa Vineyard near Woodside in the Santa Cruz Mountains, from where it was propagated in new plantings elsewhere. It’s history and pedigree have shown to be second to none.
The intensity of the Cabernet Sauvignon is complemented with exotic spice from Cabernet Franc, and plush fruit qualities from Merlot to create a wine that offers layer upon layer of flavors and aromas. Though big and boid, this is still a wine with balance and finesse. It is not one of those over-oaked and over-extracted creations that are currently the rage with some wine critics yet have no place on the table, nor the potential for successful bottle aging. This is a wine that will definitely benefit from both bottle age and/or decanting to allow the wine to open and reveal all of its depth and complexity.
Tasting Notes: The scent of a forest after a soothing rain gives the nose a cedary spiciness that weaves into intense blackberry and dark currant aromatics. An inviting entry offers bright acidity, buoying the focused core of black cherry, boysenberry and huckleberry laced with traces of minerality and oak notes. The wine’s integrated structure gently encompasses the palate, adding depth, complexity and a note of elegance.
Enjoy this Cab with an herb-encrusted rack of lamb served on a bed of couscous infused with wild mushrooms, or a juicy tri tip with compounded blue cheese butter melting on top.

And now on to our review:
The 2022 Peterson Bradford Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a very pleasing aroma of black cherry, cedar, some other dark berry fruits and spice plus touches of vanilla, chocolate and more. It’s a fantastic start and it reveals even more as it has time to breathe.
Taking a sip reveals this to be a very deep and utterly delicious wine. It features similar flavors to the nose that are a bit more tart and juicy in the mouth, and it has a very smooth mouthfeel with wonderful balance and great acidity. And again, it just keeps on getting better the longer it is open. This is a fantastic Cabernet.
It ends dry, very long, savory and grippy on the delicious finish and it was just as good on day 2. This is lovely, lovely, lovely!
Cheers,
Jon

SATURDAY SPLURGE
Here’s what people are saying about our Insider Deals:
“I’ve bought a ridiculous amount of wine from your deals in the last year…I just want to say that I really appreciate what you guys have done with RWS. I discovered your site looking up Costco wine reviews and have been hooked on your insider deals ever since. I’ve been referring every friend I know.”
“I have been buying your Insider Deals for about 3 years now and we have enjoyed every one of them. They are wines that we never would have found on our own… ”
“The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn’t purchase more.”
“Received my shipment today and just cracked open my first tasting. It blew me away…I guess I have another top pick to my list. Can’t wait for my next glass…”
“I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)”
“the wine is, in a single word, superb! as have been all other wines offered and purchased since I first learnt about you…”
“love them all so far…Glad we ran across you. Too bad we can not order them all.”
“Also your prices are pretty amazing.”
“Hey Jon! You do great work. I’ve bought a bunch of the Insider Deals and probably 80% of the wine I drink comes from them. Great values!”
“Jon, this is a wonderful wine all around. You have become our go-to person for wonderful wines and wine values. Please keep up the excellent job that you’re doing! Regards, a very satisfied customer.”
“Just love your site and the great deals on unique small production vino. You do an outstanding job!”

“This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon…You’ve outdone yourself!”
“Thanks Jon. We already drank all 6 of the first order so we were ecstatic to see you offering it again. My wife and I both love it.”

“Hi Jon, well, I did something people have warned about – bought 6 bottles and should have bought 12!”
“Have had nothing but great bottles since I started ordering your recommendations. Thanks so much!”
“We’ve gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more.”

“AMAZING!! Damn, I should have bought a CASE!!”
“WOW. Just… wow. Absolutely delicious. If I knew it was going to be this good, I would have bought a case… or two. This was dead-center in the sweet spot of what I like. Thank you!!”
“I have loved all my RWS deals, can’t wait to get this one.”
“I know that you don’t need to have ‘customers’ email you every time they like a wine that you have suggested/rated, and I have enjoyed many of your recommendations. But this Tannat was spectacular! Wow! That was amazing!”
