What a coup, dear Operative! Today we are very pleased to bring you another delightful vintage of what has become of of our all-time favorite red blends - from one of our very favorite small-production wineries.

Today’s 2010 Peterson Family Winery Shinbone is a juicy, delicious, complex red blend that brought smiles to the faces of all on our tasting panel. We were unanimous in our love for this delightful wine and we offer our fullest recommendation. Bold, dark fruits cascade across the front of the palate, delivering flavors that spread to the far corners of the mouth.

Because we only showcase wines that we love - and because we have been rejecting more and more of our wines - we know that choosing from among our offerings can be a difficult thing to do. We simply recommend that you read our tasting profiles with care, to see if a wine really speaks to you. If you love red blends, well, this review may just be shouting.

This wine embodies the best qualities of Shiraz, with the elegant backbone of a classic Cabernet. In short, there is something for everyone in this wonderful, delicious red blend.
