Vin Perdu is one of those wines that feels special, but is also meant to be enjoyed now. Made by Amuse Bouche’s legendary winemaker Heidi Barrett, this Bordeaux blend isn’t just another Napa wine. It’s composed of top-tier barrels from elite vineyards (that could’ve easily been pulled for $300+ bottles), blended masterfully to create a wine that’s lush, layered, and deeply expressive. Vin Perdu translates to “lost wine,” but this one is hiding in plain sight... just waiting to be opened, enjoyed, and shared.
After a few quick swirls, the nose reveals ripe blackberry, black cherry, and a hint of cassis, layered over whiffs of cedar, espresso, and sweet tobacco. This has massive depth, character, and balance, and the palate is rich and velvety, unveiling waves of mocha, peppercorn, and vanilla paste, all shaped by fine-grained tannins and a luscious, graceful finish.
