Amuse Bouche Vin Perdu 2023 750ml
Amuse Bouche Vin Perdu 2023 is a highly limited Napa Valley red blend created by legendary winemaker Heidi Barrett. The name “Vin Perdu” (“lost wine”) reflects its philosophy of capturing select, exceptional lots that might otherwise remain undiscovered, resulting in a rare and expressive Bordeaux-style cuvée.
The 2023 vintage showcases Napa Valley at its expressive best, with a long, balanced growing season that produced wines of purity, freshness, and depth. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting Bordeaux varieties, Vin Perdu delivers a plush, layered profile with both immediate appeal and ageing potential. It is widely regarded as a cult-style release with strong critical acclaim and extremely limited production.
Produced in small quantities, this wine is designed for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate bold yet polished Napa Valley blends with elegance and structure.
