Switchback Ridge
Peterson Family Vineyard Merlot 2018
Presented double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine is a deep ruby color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with some significant staining of the tears. No signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of plums, dark brambles, cocoa, cedar box, and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The alcohol is medium++. This is big and fancy and tastes, expensive. Initial conclusions: this could be Merlot, Malbec, or Syrah from the USA, Argentina or France. However, the wine wasn’t purple enough for Malbec and I didn’t get any rotundune for me to chose Syrah. The tannins were silky smooth and the fruit was generous, plush and slightly tart which gave me a clue about the vintage. Since I felt like this wine leaned toward its fruit, my final conclusion is that this is Merlot, from the USA, from California, from Napa Valley, 2018 vintage. Boom! I think this is drinking really well right now and it hides its alcohol (15.6%!) remarkably well. Drink now and through 2028. — 5 months ago

So Delicious! Blackberries, blueberries,cherry liquor, black licorice, eucalyptus. Graphite, vanilla, earth, great long finish! I opened this early, it could benefit from a few more years! I have justification for opening this! I just found out that my son proposed, officially engaged! — 2 years ago

Switchback Ridge
Peterson Family Vineyard Petite Sirah 2019
Switchback Ridge - Peterson Family Vineyard- Napa cab - 15.8% abv. Whew…. Better drink a lot of water with this one. Lots of lavendar on the nose. Opening palate is dark blackberry and black licorice. Then comes the chocolate oak and pepper. A beautiful finish, semi dry and tantalizing the tongue.  Goes down almost like a nice smooth bourbon - no kidding!!!!  a nice bottle of Callaway Blue water with this one! — 6 months ago

Well made, generous Bordeaux blend — balanced and harmonious w/tons of fruit but lots of earth driven elements on nose & palate. Smooth, sturdy tannins and impressive length on finish. You can tell there is pedigree to the fruit their sourcing — a month ago
