the richness of this wine; Persephone and Tess.
VINTAGE
The beginning of the 2019 growing season was defined by copious
rainfall and late soil moisture. The long, warm summer saw very few
extreme heat events, with foggy mornings setting the stage for vibrant
and expressive wines. The long, relatively mild finish to the season, not
without its moments of unpredictability, helped to preserve Freshness
and finesse in the fruit with abundant hang time teasing out great color,
and texture
In 1983, Tony and Herta(HB) Peju purchased thirty acres in the famed
Rutherford district of the Napa Valley. They worked hard to build a
winery, plant estate vineyards and raise their family. They remain
family-owned, with their two daughters, Ariana and Lisa guiding the
business today. Ariana and Lisa are bringing esh innovation while
maintaining the meticulous focus on quality that began over 35 years
ago. With its landmark tower and warm hospitality, PEJU Winery is an
integral part of the Napa Valley landscape
