Scott's Wines
- USA
- 5Â wines
- 2Â styles
Scott lives and breathes old-school Californian winemaking - with his rich, generous, take-no-prisoner Chardonnay.
- Scott was an integral part of the Kendall-Jackson winemaking team, defining California Chardonnay in the 90s. That Cali Chardonnay style known all over the world as unctuous, ripe, full-throttled.
- He loves working with Angel funding because you let him make the wines he wants to in the way he wants to make them. He's all about old school California and he doesn't want to make a new style of wine just because it's fashionable.
- If you like gloriously rich Californian wine that takes no prisoners, go and buy a bottle (or three) of Scott's wine. You will not regret it.

Scott Peterson's Story
Scott Peterson's Story
"Hiya Angels,
I've been making wines now for 26 years (oh my) - I became a
winemaker frankly because it's the coolest job in the whole
world!
After growing up in Virginia, USA, I migrated to west coast
in search of surf, but found grapes instead. I've been
fortunate to work not only across California but also South
America - and now back in California I love working with the
dynamic characters at Naked Wines.
I would say the biggest influence on me and the kind of wines
I like to make is the Sonoma Coast itself - that and my
palette!
I of course love classic Chardonnay but I also love Cabernet
for its richness and expressive flavours - I also enjoy
working with Pinot Noir.
Through experience and tenacity I have a knack for finding
the best deals for fruit and oak barrels. Coupled with the
help from Angel funding this allows me to create wines with a
real depth of flavours, originality, and all the while at a
fantastic cost to the Angels who have supported me.
Joining Naked Wines seemed almost too good to be true - the
idea of chasing some really good fruit, making wine, having
the $$ covered and not worrying where your next pallet sale
is going to come from. Brilliant.
Thank you so much Angels!"
