Peter Michael Winery, Les Pavots--Vintage 1997
Knight's Valley
Lot 936 in original carton
"The last two vintages of the proprietary red wine called Les Pavots have been spectacular. The 1997 Les Pavots (79 Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 Merlot, and 9 Cabernet Franc) possesses a hefty 14.5 alcohol. Nevertheless, there is no sense of overweight or flabbiness to this brillant, Bordeaux-style blend...The 1997's saturated black/purple color is followed by a gorgeously perfumed nose of licorice, cassis, sweet foresty scents, and toasty new oak. On the palate, the wine offers licorice black currant jam, and notes of a wood-fired oven. Dense, full-bodied, and huge, with superb purity, it performed amazingly well for having been bottled several months earlier." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 126, 2000
