Following Sir Peters \"100 by 100\" vision 100% family ownership for at least 100 years and drawing inspiration from the great wineries of Burgundy and Bordeaux, the family hired like-minded viticulturists and winemakers to help them create terroir-driven wines that would stand the test of time. Today, with the support of son, Paul, and Paul's wife Emily, the Peter Michael winery still adheres to its original founding principles of mountain vineyards, classical winemaking, and limited production.The estate vineyards rest on steep hillsides ranging in elevation from 1000 to nearly 2000 feet. With 120 acres under vine, the winery is known for single-vineyard and estate grown Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. Under the direction of winemaker Nicolas Morlet (who joined in Dec 2005), all Peter Michael wines are made using a non-interventionist, neo-classical approach, which relies on traditional, hands-on winemaking methods blended with the best of modern technology.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2022-12-12T18:28:59-05:00","created_at":"2022-12-12T06:17:12-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","MK1212","Other_Wine","Producer_Peter Michael","Region_California","Source_Continental1222","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend"],"price":122200,"price_min":122200,"price_max":122200,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42620214673546,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2016 | Peter Michael | L'Esprit des Pavots Estate Cabernet Blend","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":122200,"weight":2722,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/06_7022ed4f-71a5-4b6c-be8e-19a1f7963a89.jpg?v=1670844290"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/06_7022ed4f-71a5-4b6c-be8e-19a1f7963a89.jpg?v=1670844290","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2016 | Peter Michael | L'Esprit des Pavots Estate Cabernet Blend at CaskCartel.com","id":23751907016842,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.647,"height":1545,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/06_7022ed4f-71a5-4b6c-be8e-19a1f7963a89.jpg?v=1670844290"},"aspect_ratio":0.647,"height":1545,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/06_7022ed4f-71a5-4b6c-be8e-19a1f7963a89.jpg?v=1670844290","width":1000}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine : 2016 | Peter Michael | L'Esprit des Pavots Estate Cabernet Blend\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon L'Esprit des Pavots is a dense, rich second wine that takes fruit from both Les Pavots and Au Paradis, Peter Michael's estate vineyard in Oakville.
