In 1983, Tony and Herta (HB) Peju purchased thirty acres of vines in the famed Rutherford district of Napa Valley. They worked hard to build a winery, plant estate vineyards and raise their family. Peju remains family-owned with Tony and HB’s two daughters, Ariana and Lisa, guiding the business today. Ariana and Lisa are bringing fresh ideas while maintaining the meticulous focus on quality that began 40 years ago. With its landmark tower and warm hospitality, Peju Winery is an integral part of the Napa Valley landscape.
88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot
Peju Description
Our Legacy Cabernet Sauvignon presents an expressive nose that captivates the senses from the first moment. On the palate, it reveals intricate layers of dried red fruit and nuanced cigar box notes. A delicate hint of wet stone adds a distinctive touch to the experience. The wine's medium to full body strikes a harmonious balance between fruit and tannin structure. The finish is elegant and prolonged, with a touch of cocoa dust that lingers on the palate.
Decanter: 94 Points
The 2022 Peju Legacy Collection Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, aged for 19 months in 40% new French and American oak, crafted by winemaker Sara Fowler. Fragrant notes of spiced plums, leather, fine cedar, and violets lift from the glass. Full-bodied, it features a framework of elongated, supple tannins, creamy black cherry fruits, dark plum jam, mocha, and a cool wet slate character on the lengthy finish.
James Suckling: 90 Points
Toasty and meaty, this offers ripe dark berries, baking spices and hints of cracked pepper. It shows some firmness to the tannins, yet remains rather juicy and smooth with medium to full body and a spice-laced finish. Drink now or hold.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
Aromas of wet tobacco and mixed cherries carry into the palate. With further sipping they transform into spiced tobacco, cocoa and dark fruits carried by a full body and melting tannins.
