Wine Spectator
“Mocha and warmed vanilla notes frame a core of gently mulled blackberry and black cherry fruit and then linger on the warm, earth-tinged finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2030. 2,397 cases made.”
Highlights
James Suckling 97 points
The 2022 Peter Michael Les Pavots is a bold, structured Bordeaux-style blend from Knights Valley, California, featuring notes of black fruit, chocolate, and violets. It's made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, grown on volcanic slopes of Mount Saint Helena. This wine is characterized by powerful tannins and a long, complex finish and is recommended for cellaring for several years.
