Peter Michael Winery, Les Pavots 2018
A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot and 3% Petite Verdot. A very dark garnet, this wine offers aromas of dusty roads mixed with rich black cherry and black plum. Smooth-as-silk flavours of black cherry and plum mix with cola nut and tobacco as the wine moves with powerful grace across the palate. The incredibly supple tannins have muscle and a very fine grain that grips the edges of the mouth firmly. There’s just a touch of stony minerality at the core of this wine managing to make itself felt through the very rich mountain fruit.
