2008 Peterson "Gravity Flow Block" Bradford Mountain Vineyard Dry Creek Valley Syrah
One 750ml bottle
Peterson’s '08 "Gravity Flow Block" Syrah is a well-balanced wine with polished tannins, an elegant mouthfeel and so many flavors that each sip reveals another aspect of the wine. Deep spicy aromas of freshly ground cloves, perfectly ripened blackberry and boysenberry weave together with hints of cola and leather, inviting you to sip. The soft creamy entry showcases a complex wine with layers of flavors that ends in a spice-laden finish that lingers on the palate. Juicy dark-skinned berries and plum blend with notes of cola, espresso, cinnamon, nutmeg and a slight mineral essence to create an irresistible taste sensation.
The “Gravity Flow Block” Syrah is the realization of a dream to produce a Syrah grown on the most exposed, well-drained location on Peterson’s Bradford Mountain vineyard. This rocky hillock directly behind the Peterson home on Bradford Mountain got its name from the 10,000 gallon water tank that serves the house and garden below via gravity flow.
