Blog 61 Peju
Peju is family owned and operated. They are dedicated to organic and sustainable farming practices. Their gardens, art exhibits, kitchen and award winning wines and friendly staff are why you want to visit.
Your pleasant and pleasing experience begins when you get out of your car; enjoy the garden and artwork prior to walking into the gift shop and tasting area at Peju located in Rutherford, Napa Valley California. Easy to get to and open until 6:00 pm makes it a favorite last stop on your wine tasting ventures and one you will never want to miss. The staff is knowledgeable, all of their wine is tasty and they have some wine blends that you cannot get anywhere on the planet. I listed two of my favorite wines from Peju that are fun, light, bright and unique.
Provence
Winemaker Notes: A proprietary red and white blend of finished Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel with Chardonnay and French Colombard from Napa and Mendocino counties. Goes great with Barbequed and spicy foods - Serve Chilled!
Sensory Description: Aromatic notes of bright cherry and raspberry tartlets, with a slight touch of cranberry and pretty floral notes. It displays flavors of fresh ripe red fruit with a hint of strawberry rhubarb pie.
Carnivale
Winemaker Notes: This French Colombard is sourced from an old head-trained vineyard in Redwood Valley, Mendocino County. The vineyard is situated in a cool growing area, allowing the fruit to hang on the vine for a long period of time to reach optimal ripeness. The French Colombard is often some of the last fruit that we harvest in late October, and typically displays floral aromatics, mixed with fresh fruit, crisp acidity and a light, refreshing finish.
Sensory Description: Aromas of white peach, apricot and nectarine with a hint of white floral notes. Intense, yet delicate flavors of honeysuckle, pineapple juice and fresh, juicy stone fruit please the palate. Carnival has sweet beginnings with a dry finish. The Carnival pairs beautifully with spicy dishes such as Thai food as well as fruit and cheese. Serve very chilled.
Great experience! Great wine!
