🏰 A highly acclaimed Bordeaux blend from Knights Valley, the 2019 Peter Michael Les Pavots is an olfactory symphony of dark fruits and elegant structure, earning a stellar 99 points from James Suckling. The 2019 vintage experienced a mild summer with a long ripening period of moderate heat, resulting in wines of extraordinary elegance and suppleness. It was also noted as one of the smallest yields in the history of this Knights Valley vineyard. 【Brilliant ruby-garnet in color, the 2019 'Les Pavots' showcases an olfactory symphony of blackberry, dark chocolate, black cherry, and vanilla aromas, with supporting notes of tobacco, violets, and garrigue. A refined, elegant entry leads to a broad, graceful mid-palate with silky, fine-grained tannins, hints of black tea, blackberry pie, caramel, and cocoa powder, with a long, lingering finish. Also noted for pine-cone aromas, raspberries, and graphite flavors.】 🍴 This powerful yet elegant red blend is an excellent match for beef and venison. Consider grilled prime rib, roasted lamb with herbs, or a rich mushroom and truffle risotto. For an Asian pairing, try Korean BBQ short ribs or a robust Peking duck. 🥂 Ideal for a celebratory dinner, a special occasion, or for collectors seeking a powerful yet elegant Californian Bordeaux blend. This wine is recommended to drink after 2025.
