Peter Michael Winery, Estate Red Knights Valley "Les Pavots", 2006
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
From the sun-soaked Knights Valley, Peter Michael’s Les Pavots 2006 is a wine that balances richness and refinement. Known for its exceptional terroir, this estate-grown wine is a powerful expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and other Bordeaux varieties. The 2006 vintage shows the depth and aging potential of Les Pavots, with a complex profile that has developed beautifully over time.
On the nose, the wine reveals layers of dark fruit—blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum—complemented by hints of cocoa, tobacco, and a touch of earthy spice. There’s a subtle oak influence, adding depth with vanilla and toasted wood notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with firm, structured tannins that give it a velvety mouthfeel, while the acidity keeps it balanced and fresh. The finish is long and luxurious, with the dark fruit and spice lingering, leaving a satisfying aftertaste.
This wine pairs wonderfully with grilled steaks, roasted lamb, or hard cheeses like aged Comté. Les Pavots 2006 is drinking beautifully now, but its solid structure ensures it can continue to evolve and mature in the cellar for another decade or more. A true showcase of Knights Valley’s best, Peter Michael Winery has crafted a wine that captures both power and elegance in every sip.
