Physician by day - Winemaker Forever

I have had a great love for and been involved in wine since the mid 1970's, first as a consumer, then a collector, an educator, and finally with my own wines, Peter William Vineyard.

My occupation is still that of a full-time physician. My avocation is and always will be working with wine.

My wife Robin & I planted Peter William Vineyard on the hillside below our home in 2013. We have just under 10 acres of vines. We started with Grenache, Syrah, Tempranillo, and Malbec. Recently, we grafted over a small portion of Grenache to Roussanne.

Cellar 503 Tasting Notes

Peter William Vineyard, Medford, Oregon
2018 Malbec

Peter William 2018 Malbec 90 Points, The Wine Enthusisast

“Aromas of vanilla, baking spice and plum lead to a palate that mixes fruit and barrel, with plump-feeling flavors. Vanilla notes linger on the finish. Fruit and barrel walk hand in hand. Sean P. Sullivan” [07/2022]

Our only Bordeaux Varietal, most often seen on its own from Argentina. This is a big, bold mouth-filling wine of great depth.

We recently held a comparative tasting, trying decide whether to release the 2018 or 2019 Malbec first. The group was split…so we decided to release them both together!
