What We Say 2019 40th Anniversary Blend
What the Winery Says
Peju
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.
The beginning of the 2019 growing season was defined by an abundance of rainfall and late season soil moisture. The long, relatively mild finish to the season helped to preserve freshness and finesse in the fruit with abundant hang time teasing out great color, structure, and generous tannins. All in all, exceptional fruit with bright acidity and ample texture promises an amazing vintage.
Rich garnet color with a nose of baked plum and tobacco notes followed by a juicy palate of black raspberry, bright plum, and spice. Charming and layered with depth, length, and style, this wine is sure to please the palate. PEJU Anniversary Blend embodies the art of blending, delivering a harmonious balance of fruit, structure, and finesse.
