Tess Winery
Nearly 30 years ago in Rutherford, Lisa and Ariana Peju decided to help their dad, Tony, create a special wine. Over the ensuing years, Lisa and Ariana watched their parents, Tony and Herta, create one of the most prestigious and iconic Napa Valley wineries. So it is no surprise that in 2012, these sisters joined hands to create their own brand, Tess.
The fabulous wines we featured:
Non-Vintage Napa Valley Red & White Blend
- 97 points, justwinepoints.com
- Gold Medal, Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo Int’l. Wine Comp.
- Gold Medal, San Francisco Chronicle Wine Comp.
Tasting Notes: Aromas and flavors of sweet bright strawberry, raspberry and watermelon. The rich texture is balanced by crisp, clean acidity.
Winemaker's Notes
Growing up here in Rutherford, living beside the vineyard for the past 30 years, harvesting the grapes – this has been part of our life. We’ve watched our dad (Tony Peju) tend the vines and be an entrepreneur. Our philosophy about wine is the same as his: if you like a wine, it’s a good wine.
