Tasting notes
Led by Mark Aubert, one of California's most talented, enthusiastic, and energetic young wine-making teams is pushing Peter Michael into the stratosphere. This is one of the most exciting wineries in not only Sonoma, California, but the world. It is not often you find a winery making exceptional Sauvignon, multiple cuvees of profoundly rich Chardonnays, and a Bordeaux-styled, classy, complex red wine. No one is missing a step at this winery located in the beautiful Knight's Valley, on the road between Calistoga and Santa Rosa. There are 75 cases of the provocative 1993 Point Blanc. It displays a saturated color, more toasty new oak in its aromas and flavors, and more concentration, body, and extract on the palate. Revealing a striking similarity to a top Bordeaux made in a ripe style, it is a beautifully knit, graceful, complex, herb, mineral, cassis, and cigar-box-scented and flavored wine. It will be released next year and should age well for 15+ years. Tel. (707) 942-4459; Fax (707) 942-0209
