Winemaking legend Dr. Richard Petersen consulted on this wine, and his history in California with Cabernet Sauvignon in particular shows lessons learned here. Balance is key, and it’s finely tuned here considering the lively red fruit that’s a Lake County hallmark. That’s what I like about Mr. Petersen’s handiwork – minimalism that lets the place be heard.
