Peter Michael Winery

'L'Esprit des Pavots' Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

I have always loved Peter Michael's wines and I love this one! This is their 2nd tier, a blend made from Bordeaux varietals from their Flagship wine. This is a sensational blend of 52% cab, 30% merlot, 14% cab franc, and 4% petit verdot. The Merlot helps balance this tremendous wine, which weighs in at a whopping 15.7% alcohol 😮 Found this bottle at a local sushi restaurant that was holding a 50% off any wine special. Got this baby for $89 a bottle! A Knights Valley wine at its best, drinking perfectly now! — 9 years ago

Ma Danseuse Pinot Noir 2012

Figured I would start strong. This is my first taste of Peter Michael's Pinot, but he seemed pretty fired up about it. His other wines are unbelievable. Cracking this open in a couple of hours, so I'll update this after. Update: cherry cola, leather, the fruit is clearly exceptional, and the winemaking just accents it flawlessly. Long, lingering finish. This is unbelievable wine. I've never had a better Pinot. Paired this wine with a dry-aged prime ribeye with a balsamic cherry reduction. Dead ringer. The two did the tango right across the palate. — 10 years ago

Cirq

Treehouse Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

2012 CIRQ Estate Treehouse Pinot Noir. Michael Browne’s (of Kosta Browne) personal project which as I understand is an homage to the Summers he spent at a ‘Circus Camp’ in his youth. Treehouse is an amazing hilltop (stunning elevation) property in west Sonoma County with red, iron-rich soil surrounded by (say what?) coastal cypress trees. I had the pleasure of visiting, hosted by Damon Wong, and it's an amazing Vineyard. Unlike anything else I've ever seen. I can understand Michael's fascination with it. The wine: On the nose, red fruits, cedarbox, with notes of rhubarb and fennel. On the palate, pomegranate, kirsch, black tea, spices, roasted herbs along with hints of black truffles and white pepper. Beautiful texture. Lengthy finish. Classic expression of Pinot Noir. If I had to distinguish it from Kosta Browne from a flavor-perspective, I would say higher acidity and a bit of tannin give it a quality more accustom to Grand Cru Burgundy which is not bad company. I'm a fan. Congrats to Michael as well as his partner in this project, my friend Kenny Rochford, one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. — 8 years ago

Based on the wines you are drinking, they will need to be celebrity weddings to keep you in the wines you are accustomed to 😊

Roux Old Vine Petite Sirah 2006

We really love all of Michael's wines. The Roux is my favorite, dark as polished mahogany, tannic, with strong flavors that are full and rich. Hints of berries such as blackberry, huckleberry, boysenberry with a touch of pepper for a perfect ending. — 9 years ago

Cornerstone Cellars

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Black currant, smoky blueberries, cassis, and mint. Cornerstone Cellars 2012 Michael's Cuvée doesn't disappoint. It's opulent, with palate-drenching blackberries and blueberries, lovely purity of fruit with seductively sueded tannins. A blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot, this cuvée was assembled from the historic Oakville Station Vineyard (read that as To Kalon) 57%, 28% Kairos Vineyard, and 9% Ink Grade Vineyard on Howell Mountain. For the money, it's exceptional. 14.9% ABV | Sample — 9 years ago

Such a treat here in Treviso for Michael's last night as a bachelor. A great nose with cherry, plum, baked fruits. Full body balanced with red fruits-raspberry, strawberry along with notes of chocolate and a hint of coffee. 2010 vintage. — 10 years ago
