Last night we tried a 2005 Perata Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon "Frank's" version. It was what good wine is all about, smooth red velvet, proper tanins and Rutheford dusty/oaky aftertaste. Perata Vineyards is in Yountville near Ghost Block Vineyard and right next to Beringer-Gamble Vineyard. This is a single-source wine made by Gary Galleron.

Napa Valley wine can be so different from vineyard to vineyard with microclimates as small as a few acres. At Perata vineyard, you can tell that they love their vines. They are meticuliously taken care of, it's a beautiful thing to see. This time of year, the little baby buds are breaking out of the vines for Spring.
