Peter Michael Winery, Les Pavots--Vintage 1997
Knight's Valley
"Peter Michael's Les Pavots continue to go from strength to strength, with the 1997 Les Pavots the finest yet produced. This wine originates from a hillside vineyard overlooking the Knight's Valley that has 23 acres planted with Bordeaux varietals. The 1997 blend consists of 79 Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 Merlot, and 9 Cabernet Franc. The wine was aged in French Oak (50 new), and bottled without filtration...A blue/black/purple color is followed by an extraordinary bouquet of toast, blackberries, crème de cassis, licorice, and cedar. Full-bodied, with silky tannin, low acidity, and layers of concentrated, pure black fruits judiciously wrapped in subtle toasty oak, this wine can be drunk early, but promises to hit its peak in 5-7 years, and last for two or more decades."
