Drinkward Peschon 'Entre-duex-Meres' Cabernet Sauvignon 2014Napa Valley

Each year Drinkward Peschon garners as much attention as some of the biggest wines we release each year because it tastes as good but at about half the price of its rivals. Plus we sell out of this single label long before the next vintage is released each year. Since their inaugural 2000 vintage, we’ve been a fan of this wine project “between two mothers” Francoise Peschon (former winemaker at Araujo and current winemaker of Vine Hill Ranch and Bart & Daphne Araujo’s new winery, Accendo Cellars) and Lisa Drinkward of Behrens & Hitchcock fame. For their 2014 vintage, notes of dark red and purple fruit dusted with dark chocolate coat the palate with subtle graphite and mineral notes. The texture as in past vintages is seamless and silky. This is the perfect party wine.
