Vin Perdu 2018 Proprietary Red, Napa Valley 96 Points

Robert Parker 96 Points: “The 2018 Vin Perdu is a blend of 38% Syrah, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 6% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes skipping out of the glass with bright, cheery notes of baked black cherries, plum preserves and blueberry pie with an undercurrent of freshly cracked black pepper, bacon and underbrush with fragrant wafts of licorice and violets. Full-bodied, rich and oh-so-seductive in the mouth, the palate reveals amazingly velvety tannins and tons of freshness, finishing with epic length and many, many layers. Delicious!”

Winery Notes: “The Vin Perdu 2018 is composed of estate grown grapes from the Amuse Bouche, La Sirena and Fantesca properties. For this vintage, Heidi masterfully blended 33% Cabernet Sauvignon with 12% Petit Verdot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 38% Syrah and 6% Merlot.”

Tasting Notes: Vin Perdu is racy and voluptuous, not to mention incredibly delicious. Succulent red cherry, rose petal, mocha, plum and spice are all given an extra kick of textural richness. Plush, opulent and creamy, this wine is an absolutely joyous wine to enjoy over the next decade or so.

The 2018 Vin Perdu label features esteemed winemaker, Heidi Barrett, lifting off from the  vineyard — and taking the wine with her! If you do not get your hands on this wine now, it will be long gone; your eternal “lost wine”!
