PerUs 'Bryn' Proprietary Red Blend Napa Valley 2021 750ml +14%

The PerUs 'Bryn' Proprietary Red Blend Napa Valley 2021 is a limited-production, high-end red wine from PerUs Wine, a boutique Napa Valley producer founded by Anmol Bhandari. The winery focuses on ultra-premium, small-lot bottlings (often under allocation to members), with winemaking led by renowned consultant Russell Bevan (known for his work on powerful, expressive Napa reds).

Key Details for the 2021 Vintage

• Blend Composition: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon from Tench Vineyard (Oakville area) + 50% Merlot from Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard (hillside site southeast of Napa city).
• Production: Only about 100 cases made — very limited and collectible.
• Style and Tasting Notes: This is an elegant yet powerful Bordeaux-style blend. It features gorgeous blackberry and dark fruit aromas (blackberry, plum, blueberry), with notes of mocha, roasted coffee, spice, earth, and subtle chocolatey Merlot influences. On the palate, it's full-bodied with velvety texture, harmonious dark fruits, well-integrated tannins, and a smooth, lingering finish. The 2021 vintage brings concentration and power balanced by elegance — more polished and creamy than some edgier Napa vintages.
• Critic Scores / Reception: Community and early reviews highlight high quality (e.g., CellarTracker averages around 95.5 points from limited reviews; broader PerUs lineup often earns 94–98+ from critics like Jeb Dunnuck or James Suckling for similar vintages). It's described as rich, plush, and approachable yet age-worthy.
• Average Price: Around $199–$230 per 750ml bottle (ex-tax, based on secondary market data; retail/allocation pricing may vary).

PerUs wines emphasize no-compromise quality from top sites, and 'Bryn' (named after a family member) often leans plush and fruit-forward compared to their more Cabernet-dominant labels.
