Wine Description:
Driven by a love for farming and a deep passion for wine, Tony Peju's journey led him from the Caspian Sea to France, England, and Los Angeles before he found his calling in Napa Valley. In 1982, he and his wife Herta acquired a strategic 30-acre plot in Rutherford, neighboring renowned wineries like Robert Mondavi and Inglenook. This prime location, nestled between Highway 29 and the Napa River, featured century-old vineyards and a 1900-era house. Today, the Peju legacy continues as their daughters, Lisa and Ariana, actively engage in every facet of the Peju Winery, ensuring a promising future for this family-run Napa Valley gem.

Wine Expert Note:

On the nose, Peju Merlot offers enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla and spice. These aromas continue to unfold on the palate, where the wine displays a harmonious balance between fruitiness and oak influence. In terms of flavor, Peju Merlot delivers a luscious blend of dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, with undertones of cocoa and tobacco. The wine's medium to full body provides a satisfying mouthfeel, while its well-integrated tannins contribute to a long and elegant finish. Pairing this Merlot with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or hearty pasta dishes would be an excellent choice, as it complements a wide range of flavors. It is also enjoyable on its own, allowing you to savor its rich and complex character.
