The winery produces a number of single-vineyard wines including Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blends, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc – Semillon blends. The winery was established by Peter Michael and his wife Margaret in 1982. Michael's background was in technology and had founded the digital picture company Quantel in the UK in the early 1970s. He arrived in California in the early days of the Silicon Valley tech boom and soon invested in a winery. The winery released its first vintage in 1987 and has since enjoyed a high level of critical acclaim. Three of Michael's wines have ranked in the top 10 of Wine Spectator's Top 100, and since the 1995 vintage, 14 wines have been rated 98 points or higher by US wine critic Robert Parker. Peter Michael's property in the Knights Valley AVA is at a much higher altitude than many others in the area, with vineyards reaching as high as 2000 feet (610m) above sea level. The result is cooler growing temperatures, which allows for wines in the more restrained old world style. In 2006, Peter Michael began planting a vineyard in Fort Ross-Seaview AVA in Sonoma County. In 2009 added an Oakville AVA vineyard in Napa Valley. Peter Michael Winery remains a family-owned estate that is now run by Peter's son Paul and wife Emily (the inspiration for the Belle-Fille Chardonnay label and vineyard). Only a small number of cases reach the retail market as the majority are set aside for the mailing list and long-term restaurant clientele.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-02-28T12:30:00-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-17T15:43:37-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","NK1702","Other_Wine","Producer_Peter Michael","Region_California","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Chardonnay"],"price":159899,"price_min":159899,"price_max":159899,"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":42787912876170,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Peter Michael | Belle Cote Chardonnay (Magnum)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":159899,"weight":24494,"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\/67_08c77964-3f9d-4384-b6a7-75ae9996495e.jpg?v=1676666640"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/67_08c77964-3f9d-4384-b6a7-75ae9996495e.jpg?v=1676666640","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Peter Michael | Belle Cote Chardonnay (Magnum) at CaskCartel.com","id":24248128110730,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/67_08c77964-3f9d-4384-b6a7-75ae9996495e.jpg?v=1676666640"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/67_08c77964-3f9d-4384-b6a7-75ae9996495e.jpg?v=1676666640","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2020 | Peter Michael | Belle Cote Chardonnay (Magnum)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShows salted butterscotch, peach and tangerine flavors that are polished and focused, with lemon blossom, poached pear and candied ginger notes on a plush, elegant frame.
