2017 PerUs Alessio Napa

(96 Points) The 2017 Alessio is stunning, and possibly my favorite in the lineup. A blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Cabernet Franc, it offers a beautiful bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, black cherries, chocolate, toasted spices, and smoked earth.  Deep, full-bodied, and beautifully textured, with a great finish, this terrific 2017 does everything right. It’s stunning today with a decant, and I suspect it will evolve gracefully for 15-20 years or more. Jeb Dunnuck
