2019 | PerUs | Lyla (Half Bottle)

The 2019 Lyla Proprietary Red has a gorgeous nose of pure cassis and black cherry fruits supported by complex floral and spicy nuances.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: PerUs is a relatively new, Napa-based operation headed by financier Anmol Bhandari, with Russell Bevan as head winemaker and British super-somm Ronan Sayburn as an advisor. The vineyard sources are some of the same that Russell Bevan uses for his own label and therefore knows well, being very hands-on with the viticulture as well as winemaking for all his projects. 2013 was the first, very tiny vintage. Five and six years on, these 2018 and 2019 offerings are starting to hit the seriously high notes.

• Jeb Dunnuck: The 2019 Lyla Proprietary Red has a gorgeous nose of pure cassis and black cherry fruits supported by complex floral and spicy nuances. With one hell of a mid-palate, ripe, supple tannins, and a full-bodied, mouth-filling style that just begs to be drunk, it’s good to go any time over the coming 10-15 years as well.

Producer Information

PerUs Wine. Always be humble and stay true to your roots, regardless of your success in life. Family is paramount. These are excellent truisms from PerUs founder and visionary, Anmol Bhandari – values he has carried throughout his life and career and have played a grounding role in the inception and ensuing development of PerUs Wine. His road to the Napa Valley has been an international journey. Anmol was born and raised in New Delhi, immigrated to the United States and built a successful career in finance – initially at Goldman Sachs and later co-founding Cians Analytics based in New York – a company that provides research and analytical support to international financial institutions. He is also responsible for bringing together a select group of accomplished individuals in the world of wine to be a part of PerUs. Anmol was introduced to Dustin Wilson, Master Sommelier and one of the individuals featured in the wine documentary, SOMM. Both men met while Dustin was working at the acclaimed restaurant in New York City, Eleven Madison Park. Anmol and Dustin traveled to the Napa Valley several times touring vineyards and meeting select winemakers. During one of these trips, Dustin introduced Anmol to noted winemaker, Russell Bevan. Russell has a led a varied life – he earned his Master’s in Philosophy from Gonzaga University, worked in Minneapolis selling dental equipment, wrote a syndicated column which was published in the Wine Spectator and then became a self-taught winemaker with his first vintage in 2005. Russell has worked with a number of iconic Napa Valley based vineyards over his career, getting his start with Kal Showket (who used to own Showket Vineyards in Oakville before selling to Peter Michael). Russell identifies a select group of winemakers who he has been influenced by including Napa Valley’s long-time winemaker, Philip Togni.
