Product details
Peju Winery, a family-owned estate nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, has been crafting exceptional wines since 1983. With over 40 years of dedication to quality and innovation, Peju owns and sustainably farms six estate vineyards across the region. The 2022 Cabernet Franc exemplifies their commitment to excellence, blending 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine was aged for 18 months in French and American oak barrels, 40% of which were new, resulting in a harmonious and complex profile.
This Cabernet Franc offers a soft, round palate with flavors of ripe blackberry, brambleberry, and a hint of Herbs de Provence. Its herbaceous undertones make it an excellent companion to succulent lamb dishes, as they perfectly complement the richness of the meat. Enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment, the 2022 Cabernet Franc showcases Peju's dedication to crafting wines that embody the essence of Napa Valley.
