Peter Michael Les Pavots 2021

The Winery

Peter Michael

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?

Summary

Peter Michael Les Pavots 2021 is a distinguished Cabernet blend from the Knights Valley in Sonoma, crafted from the volcanic Les Pavots vineyard. This wine is primarily composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by 25% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot. The 2021 vintage, marked by low yields due to drought, results in a concentrated and robust character. Its deep garnet-purple hue presents a complex profile of black fruits, mocha, and spice, with hints of leather and earthiness. The palate is full-bodied, offering a firm structure with grainy tannins and bright acidity, leading to a long and mineral-laced finish. Limited production of 2,769 cases enhances its exclusivity.
