Mission Codename Message in the Bottle
Today’s Peterson Winery 2012 Petite Sirah, Dry Creek Valley is Cali Petite the way it was meant to be. This wine isn’t the sort of over the top troublemaker that few can enjoy. Instead, this wine is approachable, juicy and very friendly to the senses.
Fred Peterson grows the wonderful fruit and Jamie Peterson makes the wine. The father/son team is formidable - and so very talented.
Don’t miss out on this juicy, delicious treat of a wine.
