The Peter Michael Les Pavots 2005 is a single-vineyard red wine from the Peter Michael Winery, a producer known for its careful attention to Bordeaux-style blends. This vintage is composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, accompanied by Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Sourced from the estate vineyard atop Mount Saint Helena, the wine is influenced by unique volcanic rhyolite soils and a pronounced elevation, resulting in concentrated fruit. Aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels, the wine presents character notes of blackcurrant, tobacco and a hint of cedar. It showcases structured tannins and balanced acidity, suitable for extended cellaring.
