2003 Peter Michael 'Les Pavots' Estate Red Italian Kudos to Vine Hill Ranch

Kudos to Vine Hill Ranch

with bright cassis and cherry compote notes and red licorice and sweet tobacco flavors

with the exception of some cuttings Robert Mondavi may have given out

Asian soy and a hint of cedar beginning to emerge as well as some espresso and subtle damp forest floor notes

reminiscent of sails gently lifted by the Gironde estuary’s breeze

2003 Peter Michael 'Les Pavots' Estate Red Italian Kudos to Vine Hill Ranch"This wine has filled out very nicely. Nearly 3,000 cases were produced of this flowery, tar, camphor, incense, blackberry, black currant, espresso and chocolate scented beauty. A blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, a whopping 22% Cabernet Franc and the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot, this full bodied, opulent 2003 is just entering its plateau of full maturity." 95 100 Wine Advocate
