Gemstone minerality intersects with lemongrass, oregano, and chervil for a most glamorous mouthfeel-crisp, delicate, and armed with cut-glass acidity.

Winemaker Notes

Deep golden in color, our Carneros chardonnay opens with lovely aromas of citrus, green apple and crème brûlée. The palate is soft and creamy due to complete malolactic fermentation and sur lie aging with weekly stirrings. Flavors of Meyer lemon and pear flow over the tongue followed by hints of minerality. Barrel fermented and aged in French oak for six months, this vintage shows elegant structure with vibrant acidity and a supple yet lingering finish.

Winery Notes

When Tony and Herta “H.B.” Peju relocated to Rutherford Napa Valley from Los Angeles in 1983, they brought with them a vision of building a winery, an unwavering work ethic, and two young daughters who soaked in their parents’ entrepreneurial spirit and love for Napa’s beautiful farmland. They established Peju Winery and dedicated themselves to welcoming guests and crafting exceptional wines from Napa Valley. Peju remains family-owned with Tony and HB’s two daughters Lisa and Ariana guiding the business today. Lisa and Ariana are bringing fresh ideas while maintaining the meticulous focus on quality that began nearly 40 years ago
