Peter Michael Winery, Les Pavots--Vintage 1996
Sonoma Valley
"The 1996 Les Pavots (a blend of 74 Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 Merlot, and 6 Cabernet Franc) tips the scales at 14.2 alcohol. The saturated black/purple color is accompanied by a knock-out nose of violets, blackberries, licorice, and pain grillé. Full body and high extract levels are buttressed by sweet tannin as well as adequate acidity. About 2,800 cases were produced of this provocative, rich, distinctive proprietary red wine which was aged in 50-60 new Taransaud barrels, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. This is a must purchase!" Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Issue 120, 12/29/98
