Peterson Winery returns! Save XX% on this 94-Point blend of Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah and Carignane aged 25 months in 20% new French oak. Don’t miss the Peterson Bradford Mountain Vineyard Cuvée Rusé.
This Dry Creek Valley blend is comprised of Rhone varietals including 50% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, 13% Syrah and 12% Carignane all from the Bradford Mountain Estate Vineyard.
The wine is aged 25 months in 20% new French oak and 80% 4-8 year-old neutral oak barrels. Bottled (unfined and unfiltered) in November of 2020 and just released in June, with only 175 cases produced it certainly won’t last long!
We love the wines of Peterson Winery (as do many of you based on the success of our past deals) but today we have a very special one that tips its hat to the best of the Rhone. With a score of 94 points from International Wine Review and a Perfect 10 Taste Rating (94+ points) from us, you don’t want to miss this deal.
Winemaker Jamie Peterson explains the origins of this wine:
When we replanted the Bradford Mountain Estate Vineyard in 2007, we were inspired to try different grape varieties. After multiple trips to the Rhone Valley of Southern France, the inspiration to plant Grenache was solidified. Without experience growing the varietal in our mountain vineyard, or making much in the winery, we weren’t sure what expression the resulting wines would put forward. Now we know.
The Grenache from the mountain produces a high quality wine with all the classic characteristics of great Grenache—soft, luscious fruit, pepper and licorice spice, and some of the garriguey flavors, with the essence of minerality from the site coming through.
Building on this base, we strived to create a blend with depth and complexity, while not overwhelming the nuances of the core. Each year we experiment and trial the different Rhône flavors from our mountain vineyard. Along with the Grenache, the wine has classic components of Mourvèdre, Syrah and Carignane, balancing the wine beautifully and giving it the potential to develop and improve through 2030.
Normally retailing for a very reasonable $40 a bottle, today we’re slashing that price substantially…
For the next two days you can get 3 bottles of the 2018 Peterson Bradford Mountain Vineyard Cuvée Rusé for $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle). That’s a discount of XX% saving you over $XX a bottle.

From the winery:
Tasting Notes: Lovely subtle aromas of fresh cherry, dried strawberry and blackberry mingle with a touch of brown baking spices and gentle oak notes. The entry releases a flow of harmonious flavors woven with hints of white pepper and Christmas spices. A fusion of fruit encircles the palate with strawberry, black cherry and plum laced with undertones of blackberry, blood orange and leather. Traces of integrated oak and tannins appear near the finish as the flavors gradually dissipate.
This fruit-forward, easy-sipping wine pairs seamlessly with almost any meal. Try it with pulled pork ragu over fresh pappardelle, or Ethiopian spiced lamb stew served over couscous with a side of injera.

And now on to our review:
Strawberry and luscious red berry aromas lead the way on the 2018 Peterson Bradford Mountain Vineyard Cuvée Rusé and are followed by gentle spice notes and touches of wintergreen and white pepper. It’s an absolutely lovely start.
Taking a sip reveals that this is the definition of savory! It’s also smooth, silky and lush – this wine has an absolutely fantastic mouthfeel. It features similar flavors to the nose with luscious ripe fruit in the mouth plus excellent acidity and structure.
It ends dry and very long on the very savory, mouth-watering finish. It was just as good on day 2. This is wonderful!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
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!”
“Wow!! Just got my shipment. It is absolutely tremendous.”
“Hi Jon, Best thing I ever did is buy wine thru you…not been disappointed with any of them! Thank you SO MUCH!”
“Would you happen to be offering this one again anytime soon? I regret not buying more. This was exceptional!”
“I am seriously considering having the Insider Deals as my primary go-to. Why did I not do this sooner? Thank you”
“I love this wine I bought from you!!!! Thanks for doing what do do!!!”
“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.”
“You are a man after my own heart. I have always looked for the best and least expensive wine and you just made it easier. Cheers!”
“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.”
“The shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)….yikes!”
“Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn’t I buy a case??!!”

“Jon – you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!”
“The wine is outstanding. I am so glad I bought a case.”

“I am a Certified Specialist of Wine. I love your deals. You pick great wines!! Kudos to you for getting us great deals!”

“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!”
“I finally opened a bottle of this and it did not disappoint. Delicious!!!”
“Thanks for a great service! We’ve been loving your emails and wine deals!”
