Item Description
We absolutely DO drink this (and other) Merlots even if Paul Giamatti doesn't, because a bottle of Peju Merlot happens to be a perfect way to bring out the best of a special dinner or event. Special thanks to Herta "HB" Peju and winemaker Sara Fowler for adding this lovely wine to our offerings this year. (Note: there is a private tour & tasting at Peju included in this auction).
Tasting Notes:
VINTAGE
In 2010, higher than average rainfall pushed back budbreak, fruit-set, and veraison by about two weeks, and cooler summer temperatures ensured a harvest that was significantly later than normal. And while late season heat spikes followed by a consistent Indian Summer meant more work in the vineyard, the unusual conditions ultimately gave us great color and flavor development across the board.
TASTING
This is a round, juicy Merlot with tannins that are supple but pronounced—a solidly built wine that is drinkable and fruit forward now but will also fare well with age. The nose is full of ripe blackberry and plum, and more bright berries and currants on the palate along with hints of anise, cocoa and vanilla bean.
