Peter Michael Les Pavots 2009 is a notable Bordeaux-style blend from the acclaimed Peter Michael Winery in Sonoma County, California. This vintage predominantly features Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The grapes are sourced from the estate`s Les Pavots vineyard, characterised by volcanic rhyolite soils and high elevations of up to 425m. The meticulous winemaking process includes fermentation and approximately 18 months of ageing in French oak barrels. This wine showcases black fruit aromas, tobacco, cedar and subtle hints of earthiness, with structured tannins and a lively acidity ideal for ageing. Peter Michael Winery was founded by Sir Peter Michael, a British entrepreneur with a commitment to producing high-quality wines that reflect their terroir.
