The 2010 growing season was long and unseasonably cool, resulting in an unusually late harvest. Once the fruit finally ripened in mid-September, we were pleased to discover it was worth the wait. Slightly higher in acid content due to the long, gradual ripening, our 2010 whites have turned out delightfully crisp and well structured. 100% Chardonnay. -PEJU Winemaker Sara Fowler

This Chardonnay expertly marries bright citrus fruit with toasty and floral notes. Hints of vanilla bean and honeysuckle dance gracefully on the tongue calling you back with each sip for more.

The 2007 growing season was marked by a dry spring and early verasion, which led us tobelieve it would be a quick harvest. Cooling conditions in September and October, however, turned it into one of thelongest. Moderate yields and smaller berries resulted in sweet, delicious fruit tannins and exceptional color. Estategrown at our Persephone Vineyard, the altitude and soil types contribute to intense, complex flavors. This wine isdrinking very well now and will age for 3-5 years. 84% Merlot, 13% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Our much anticipated 2007 Merlot has a bright nose filled with cherries,cranberries, brown sugar, and a hint of eucalyptus. With a complex and layered flavor profile of black cherry,cocoa, tobacco, blackberry, and cranberry, terrific tannin structure, and a long, luscious, smooth finish. This isa delicious, well balanced wine, which will pair well with many savory flavors, including fish.

On the nose, a medley of summer berries, bright cherry, cocoa powder and hints of caramel and butterscotch. On the palate, a beautiful balance of richness and luminosity with flavors of boysenberry, Bing cherry, nutmeg and toffee that lead into a round, memorable finish. This vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from our two estate vineyards -the organically farmed Rutherford Vineyard and sustainably farmed Persephone Vineyard in the northeast corner of the Napa Valley. After harvest, the fruit spent extended maceration time on the skins for deeper color and complex flavor components. It was then aged 18 months in 40% new French and American Oak. The 2007 vintage is comprised of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot.

This fun and versatile wine will delight with aromas of strawberry, red raspberry and watermelon. Sip and savor juicy, ripe red fruit in a refreshing blend of red and white wine. This Peju innovation is a crowd-pleaser, perfect for barbecues, lazy Sundays, Thanksgiving dinner or any occasion when red wine seems like too much and white wine not quite enough.

The 2010 growing season was long and unseasonably cool, resulting in an unusually late harvest. We hand-pick our Sauvignon Blanc grapes at three ripeness levels to retain as much acidity as possible, and to achieve a layered flavor profile including citrus and tropical fruit flavors. Stainless steel fermented, approximately 5% spends 4 months in neutral French oak barrels lending a creaminess to the palate and a long finish balanced against bright acidity and fresh fruit flavors. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. -Peju Winemaker Sara Fowler
