2010 Peterson Winery Agraria Big Barn Red

Blending wines are one of the most enjoyable things a winemaker can do in my opinion.  During fermentation, you have to babysit the fruit.  You worry about stuck fermentations or fermentations that are too hot.  After fermentation, it’s time to press the fruit and the wine goes into the barrel.  It’s a lot of hard…
