Vin Perdu
2023 Vin Perdu Napa Valley Red Blend
As we all know, life passes in a blink of an eye. Here in Napa Valley, it seems like we just harvested the beautiful 2023 vintage grapes. But here we are, already two years later, releasing this delicious wine.
"Blink and you might miss it" is the inspiration for this year's label. A quick flip of the lenticular image allows the mind to wander and the eyes to playfully interpret what awaits you in the glass. We produce Vin Perdu, our "lost wine," with the philosophy that no good wine should remain undiscovered, and that we should embrace magnificent and unexpected joys with excitement and curiosity.

"The 2023 Vin Perdu is bright and punchy. Effusive in the glass, the 2023 offers up an exciting mix of cool blue-toned fruit, lavender, spice and leather. There's terrific depth here. This is one of the best vintages of the Vin Perdu I can remember tasting."

"A good, well-structured Bordeaux-style blend that is packed with dark-fruit flavors and savory, cedary accents. Tobacco leaf, black cherries, dark chocolate and bay leaf on the palate, backed by firm, shaping tannins. Based largely on cabernet sauvignon, with syrah, merlot and petit verdot blended in. Drink now or hold."

"The 2023 Vin Perdu is composed of 74.1% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16.1% Syrah, 65% Merlot, and 33% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes tearing out of the glass with gregarious notes of warm cassis, blackberry preserves, and mint tea, plus suggestions of mossy tree bark and tapenade. The full.bodied palate is intense and vibrant with bags of fresh black-berry layers and a fine-grained texture, finishing long with great tension."

"Amuse Bouche's 2023 Red Wine Vin Perdu gives consumers a chance to try a wine from superstar winemaker Heidi Barrett for less than $100. This blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Syrah, 7% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot doesn't disappoint, delivering loads of ripe cherries buoyed on a full-bodied palate that's supple and suave in feel. Yes, it might show a touch of warmth, but overall, it's pleasing, approachable and would make a great steakhouse or burger wine."
