Product details
Peju Province Winery, established in 1983 by Tony and Herta (HB) Peju, is a family-owned estate situated in the Rutherford AVA of Napa Valley. The estate spans over 600 acres across six vineyards, all of which are farmed organically. The 2015 HB Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the Peju family's commitment to quality and sustainability. This wine is crafted from estate-grown fruit, aged for 26 months in French and American oak barrels (40% new), and showcases the depth and complexity characteristic of Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon.
The 2015 HB Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon presents a deep garnet color and offers a nose of crème brûlée, toasty vanilla, and earthy notes of thyme and leather. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied core of boysenberry and cherry flavors, complemented by hints of green and white peppercorn, cocoa, and a touch of leather. The wine's silky texture and well-integrated tannins lead to a long, elegant finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as grilled ribeye steak, roast lamb, or aged cheeses like Gouda and cheddar. Its complexity and structure also make it suitable for aging, allowing the wine to develop further over time.
