"Legendary vintner Dick Peterson made this rosé from 100% Pinot Noir grown at his vineyard in Yountville. It's light, crisp and elegant, with intricately layered flavors of strawberries, raspberries, yeast, brioche and vanilla. The mousse is very fine, the finish long and complex. Even at the age of nine years, it's nowhere near ready. Try after 2019."

"Makes a bold statement, with floral strawberry and almond brioche aromas, offering full-bodied yet balanced citrus, graham cracker and cinnamon flavors. Drink now. 242 cases made. — TF"

"The 2004 Brut Rosé Richard G. Peterson is soft and silky throughout, with delicate fruit and an understated, feminine personality. Drink this pretty, pale-colored Rosé over the next handful of years. Stylistically, the 2004 is attractive, but a bit slender."
Dick Peterson has been an innovator in the California wine industry since the 1960s. As a young man, he produced novel products such as the first wine cooler for Seagrams and Gallo's Hearty Burgundy. He was pivotal to the success of a portfolio of wineries, including Beaulieu Vineyards with Andre Tchelistcheff, the Monterey Vineyard, Atlas Peak Vineyards and Folie à Deux Winery. The Richard G. Peterson 2004 Brut Rosé is crisp, dry with firm acidity, boasting flavors of citrus, strawberries, brioche toast and a hint of cardamom spice. It is ready to enjoy now or to cellar for twenty years from vintage date.
