WINE DESCRIPTION
In 1983, Tony and Herta (HB) Peju acquired thirty acres in Napa Valley's renowned Rutherford district, establishing Peju Winery. Their daughters, Ariana and Lisa, now lead the family-owned winery, infusing fresh ideas while upholding a 35-year legacy of quality. Peju Winery, with its iconic tower and welcoming hospitality, is a Napa Valley landmark. The wine, dark garnet and well-structured, offers crème brûlée and toasty vanilla notes with layered boysenberry and cherry flavors, finishing elegantly with peppercorn, leather, and cocoa hints. Made from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it ages 26 months in French oak, with grapes from sustainably farmed, estate-certified vineyards.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Peju Cabernet Franc Reserve is a bold, full-bodied red wine, boasting aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and oak.On the palate, it is lush and silky, with flavors of dark red fruits, earthy minerals, and hints of cedar and spice. The finish is long and persistent, leaving behind a pleasant, lingering aftertaste. Enjoy this elegant and complex wine with a juicy steak or rack of lamb.
