Peter Michael, out in the remote Knight’s Valley appellation of Sonoma, counts some of California’s greatest winemakers among their alumni. This wine is the “second” wine of their celebrated “Les Pavots” bottling. Give this one a decant, and let some very sexy fruit emerge from the glass, along with flavors of tobacco and leather.
