Founded in 1983, Peter Michel Winery is a boutique producer of phenomenally high-quality Californian wines made in the model of the great wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. Les Pavots is the flagship red blend and comes from a single rocky vineyard planted at 900-1,400ft elevation in the Knights Valley AVA, Sonoma County. The 2002 is an opulent, deeply complex and sumptuously textured blend of 71% Caberent Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot. A stellar effort from an excellent vintage.
(62% cabernet sauvignon, 17% cabernet franc, 16% merlot and 5% petit verdot) Cooler on the nose than the 2002 despite showing a near-roasted ripeness, with aromas of black raspberry, licorice, minerals and flowers. Thick, dense and superripe, with compelling sweetness and layers of dark fruit flavor. Wonderfully full and deep wine with extraordinary palate coverage. The finish offers explosive persistence and the thoroughly ripe, sweet tannins reach the front teeth. This has really del ivered on its early promise.

Peter Michael

Peter Michael

Peter Michael Winery was founded by British businessman Sir Peter Michael in the early 1980s with a singular vision - to make wine in the terroir-driven tradition of Burgundy and Bordeaux, under the California sun and in California soil. The winery currently produce around fifteen wines using four varietals - Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

Consistency and quality are the watchwords here - the wines are clearly inspired by the poise and precision of their Old World counterparts but can't help expressing an edge of Californian excess - ripe fruit abounds on the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir while the Cabernet Sauvignons have a density and concentration that many Bordelais would envy.
