2007 Juslyn Perry's Blend

The 2007 Perry’s Blend (42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all from the estate vineyards on Spring Mountain) exhibits tremendous aromas of flowers, blue, red and black fruits, graphite and forest floor. Elegant yet powerful, rich, concentrated, pure and impeccably well-balanced, it reminds me of a hypothetical blend of a Bordeaux and a cool climate, Cabernet-based red from Napa. Drink it over the next 15+ years. Butler has excelled equally as well in 2008, although the crop was so tiny he was unable to produce his Perry’s Blend. Tel. (707) 967-8020; Fax (707) 257-7675
