The wines are clearly inspired by the poise and precision of their Old World counterparts but can’t help expressing an edge of Californian richness.
This vintage comprises 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, from Knights Valley. The wine presents deep ruby-purple hues with aromas of red plums, blueberry, chocolate, and tobacco. Its medium-bodied profile reveals herbal fruits and seamless acidity, suggesting it may benefit from extended decanting.

Peter Michael
Inspired by the Médoc and Côte d'Or
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.
