This is my absolute favorite wine right now. 100% Cabernet.

Opened my first bottle of 2007 Robert Mondavi Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. Drinking great right now. Decanted about 2 hours. Some great values in 07 cabs from Cali. I need to stack a few more mid range priced 07's away. Also opened a 2006 Peju Cab Franc. Wow. what a wine. Great earthy flavors, and some forest floor action going on. Not as much oak character as one would expect. This is a wine for the old world wine drinkers to check out.

I have an 05 Reserve in the basement. Peju makes some very good wines.

Napa. I had a friend take a vacation in Napa a few months back and he stopped at Peju. He brought back a bunch of good bottles. Napa would be a great trip to make.

I have a 2007 Cab Franc and a few various Cabs from Peju. Another of my favorite warm weather wines is the Peju Provence red white mix. Amazing wine.
