After the excitement generated by the inaugural release of the “Palisades” Petite Sirah and the “Bedrock Vineyard” Zinfandel, I thought it would be a good idea to share the release date for the Wines from Mr Joel Peterson (recently upgraded to the “Patron Saint of Zinfandel”).
The release date for Once & Future is January 17, 2017.
• 2015 “Oakley Road” Mataro, 115 cases, fall release
• 2015 “Frank’s Block”, Dry Creek Zinfandel, 200 cases, fall release.
• Bedrock Vineyard Zinfandel
• Palisades Vineyard Petite Surah
I don’t know if the lineup is 100% accurate, as I sourced the data from the “Press Democrat” article. Mr Peterson did confirm that the Contra Costa Mourvedre/Mataro will be included.
I bought the inaugural zin release but passed on the PS, hopefully that does not negatively affect my next allocation as I will be in for a few of each.
Oh, and I thought I was done for the year.
Pop and I had a bit of a mix-up regarding release dates, the Once & Future offer will be postponed until sometime in the Spring. Bedrock will release on the 15th, which is our traditional date for the Winter Release. A save-the-date with a final list of wines should be hitting folks inboxes on Tuesday. Sorry for the confusion.
A personal aside, the 2015 Frank’s Block might be the best young wine I have had from Dry Creek Valley. It will be the worth the wait!
