PerUs Wine Company in Yountville was founded by a group of entrepreneurs. They describe their winemaking venture as “a convergence of people, events and wine … conceived to create a legacy of excellence, a multi-generational entity that embraces the highest standards of business and fundamental human ideals.” The company notes that “PerUs connects people who care about wine, but equally aspire to live fully and well.” The eight founders include head winemaker Russell Bevan, a former wine writer who started making wine in 2004. He earned 100 pts from Wine Advocate for his 2011 Bevan Cellars Tin Box Cabernet Sauvignon. PerUs makes Bordeaux blends, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. The site notes that allocation is by invitation only.
