PWV Peter William Vineyard Tempranillo Reserve

Sourced entirely from the hillside estate of Peter William Vineyard in the Rogue Valley — a small, hillside site planted since 2013 with roughly ten acres under vine. Grapes are destemmed, given 19 days of skin contact with daily punchdowns, then aged 20 months in 50% new French oak. The wine delivers pristine red-berry and cassis fruit, complemented by subtle tobacco overtones, cedar from the oak, warm baking spices and dusty mineral notes. A rich, velvety core gives way to a finish of perfumed rose-petal, slate-stone minerality, and a cool, refreshing lift that makes this one hard to resist.

Peter William Vineyard, Tempranilllo "PWV Reserve"

One of the nicest Rogue Valley reds I’ve tasted from the ’21 vintage. The site is planted on a hillside near Medford, Oregon. It’s a well-draining, rocky site, with great views. This red is produced by Eric Weisinger (Weisinger Family Winery). It’s refined and elegant, with lovely layers of black cherry and blackberry and spiced plum, with mineral notes of clove, graphite, and smoked paprika. The tannins are gentle, velvety, and inviting and nicely integrated and the finish is long, harmonious with some cherry pie and cocoa powder notes emerging on the fruit-forward finish. Another great release from this winery. ($39). Aged 20 months in 28% new French oak.

Peter William Vineyard, Tempranillo Lot S

The Lot S is a 50-case production, aged 22 months in 24% new French and American oak (SRP $36). Made by Scott Steingraber (Kriselle Cellars). The Lot S is laced with red currant and plum fruit, crushed cocoa nib nuances, bringing a bit of zesty blood orange, fragrant cherry blossoms, and sweet spices. It’s medium-bodied, with light touch on the palate, and fine tannins that build on the finish.

PWV Peter William Vineyard Les Candives Syrah Reserve

The Syrah grapes are destemmed, given 18 days of skin contact with daily punchdowns, then aged 21 months in 50% new French oak. Beautiful Syrah character lifts from the glass, drawing you in with perfumed rose petal and violet notes, along with a black-truffle, vanilla-scented charcuterie nuance that weaves through the dark-berry fruit and spice. The palate is supple and creamy, showing loamy earth and an ironstone mineral character. Powdery, refreshing tannins and layered brown spices carry the finish. Such an enticing Syrah. Sourced entirely from the hillside estate of Peter William Vineyard in the Rogue Valley — a small site planted since 2013 with roughly ten acres under vine.

PWV Peter William Vineyard Malbec Reserve

Fruit from Peter William Vineyard, entirely destemmed, with 19 days of skin contact and daily punchdowns, then aged 20 months in 50% new French oak. A gorgeous wine with pristine red-berry and cassis fruit, touches of tobacco, well-integrated cedar from the new wood, warm baking spices, and dusty mineral notes. The wine holds a rich, velvety center and finishes with enticing rose-petal perfume, slate-stone minerality, and a refreshing lift that’s so welcoming.

Peter William Vineyard, "Extravagance" PWV Reserve Red

As the name, ‘Extravagance’ suggests, this is hedonistic and concentrated, especially so for the Rogue Valley; yet restrained at just 14.3% alcohol. Full-bodied with mixed berry compote, blueberry, and warm baking spices, with rich flourless chocolate cake notes, a lavishly bold mid-center, plump and round tannins, and a mouthwatering, juicy, fruit-driven finish marked by subtler mineral nuances, dried herbs, and sweet dates. Love this wine. It hits all the right notes at $42 per bottle and was made by Barrel 42 (Nichole Schulte and Herb Quady). Aged 22 months in 25% new French oak.

Peter William Vineyard Robin's Rumba

Sourced entirely from Peter William Vineyard in the Rogue Valley, fermented in one-ton open-top bins, then aged 20 months in neutral French oak. A little bolder and zestier than the Syrah-Cha-Cha—another wine in the Pedro Guillermo Dance Series—this one certainly shows some pizzazz. Dark, juicy fruit and warm baking spices mingle with a potpourri of perfumed dried florals and a hint of charcuterie on the medium-bodied finish.

Peter William Vineyard Syrah-Cha-Cha

Sourced entirely from Peter William Vineyard in the Rogue Valley, fermented in one-ton open-top bins, then aged 20 months in neutral French oak. This is a spicy, cha-cha Syrah with pure dark-berry fruit, white pepper, earthy brightness, and dried florals. Silky, juicy, and persistent on the medium-bodied finish—exactly the kind of thirst-quenching wine you need after a night of salsa dancing.

Bifocal Red Wine

Malbec comes from Peter William Vineyard, while the Cabernet Franc is sourced separately by Eric Weisinger. The fruit was destemmed and given up to 25 days of skin contact with twice-daily punchdowns, then aged 20 months in 30% new French oak. The Cabernet Franc immediately bursts from the glass with sagebrush, cassis, and tobacco. The mid-palate builds on the Malbec’s structure, showing taut, firm tannins that draw you in before resolving to reveal apple skin, red apple, and cocoa powder notes that permeate the senses.

Daisy Creek Vineyard, Viognier

The 2024 Peter William Viognier is a zesty, medium-bodied white, bursting with a honeyed character, white floral notes, and candied peach rings. A host of velvety orchard, stone, and tropical fruit emerge on the palate, underscored by tingly acid tension, finishing with a salty note of toasted, slivered almonds. SRP: $30.00. Made by Barrel 42 (Nichole Schulte & Herb Quady). 154 cases produced. Barrel fermented in 100% Neutral French Oak, 4 months on lees. From the Daisy Creek Vineyard.

Egan Vineyard, Chardonnay

From Egan Vineyard in Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley. Barrel Fermented and aged 6 months in 20% new French Oak (33% Malolactic fermentation completed). Suggested Retail $27.00. Made by Eric Weisinger (Weisinger Family Winery). 118 cases produced. Lovely lemon peel notes, with sea salt and white flowers, entice the senses. There’s good energy and tension on the medium-bodied palate, underscored by more of that aromatic sea salt, infused in the lemon-pear-apricot fruit profile, rich and succulent, finishing with excellent persistence and minerality.

Daisy Creek Vineyard Viognier

With fruit sourced from Daisy Creek Vineyard in southern Oregon, whole-cluster pressed and aged in neutral French oak for four months on the lees. The wine is lime-bright, with tropical fruit notes, flinty minerals, and kaffir lime bursting across the palate. It offers impressive mid-weight texture balanced by chalky minerality and saline-driven acidity.

Peter William Vineyard, Grenache Rosé

From the Peter William Vineyard, this hillside-planted Grenache bursts out of the glass with mixed berry fruits and a nice blast of salty sea spray, followed by candied watermelon rind, underripe peach, and apricot notes. The fruit is silky and layered on the palate and framed by a firm spine of zesty, racy acidity. What a fantastic, focused, and complex Rosé. Suggested Retail $24.00. Made by Eric Weisinger (Weisinger Family Winery). 80 cases produced (plus 20 kegs for restaurants).
