Along the slopes of the St. Helena Mountains, stands a winery shaped around a simple philosophy, “mountain vineyards, classical winemaking, limited production.” The plan may seem simple, but the complexity behind each cuvee of Sir Peter Michael’s impressive résumé makes this estate a must for those in search of New World terroir in balance with Old World technique. Whether it is crisp, cool-mountain Chardonnays, or sun-bathed red blends from the valley floor, this great estate can provide a stunning example to fit anyone’s palate. Not to mention, spanning nearly 30 years, the winemaking alums from Peter Michael include Helen Turley, Mark Aubert, and currently Nicolas Morlet. So it is no surprise that those who appreciate a fine wine seem to always have a little Peter Michael in their cellars. Do you?
Peter Michael Pinot Noir Le Caprice 2012 is a distinguished wine from the Seaview Ridge vineyard in California's Fort Ross-Seaview AVA. Crafted with meticulous care, this single-vineyard Pinot Noir showcases the purity of fruit with remarkable depth and complexity. The wine reveals vibrant aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant, and dark cherry, complemented by earthy forest floor notes and hints of spice. Its full-bodied profile is characterized by silky tannins and bright acidity, leading to an elegant finish marked by floral and mocha nuances. The wine is a true expression of its terroir, limited in production and aged in French oak, reflecting the classic qualities of the celebrated 2012 vintage.
