The Peter Michael Les Pavots 2021 is a notable Bordeaux-style blend that exemplifies the winemaking tradition of Peter Michael Winery in Knights Valley, California. Predominantly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, the blend also includes Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The grapes are sourced exclusively from the estate’s Les Pavots vineyard, positioned on volcanic slopes of Mount Saint Helena. The wine undergoes careful fermentation and is aged for approximately 18 months in predominantly new French oak barrels. This meticulous process aims to achieve a distinctive profile marked by dark fruit characteristics, earthy tones and structured tannins.
