Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Clos du Ciel has a deep red ruby color and an intense nose of black cherry, cassis, strawberry liqueur, black raspberry with truffle, graphite and leather notes. The wine is rich, round and full-bodied with heavy notes of fruits and spices. The texture of Clos du Ciel is sensual with an impressive length. It will require a couple years of cellaring to develop its bouquet and remarkable potential.
Professional Ratings

Wine Spectator
Pleasantly earthy, with an intense minerally streak running through taut blueberry, wild berry and raspberry flavors. Medium- to full-bodied, turning juicy and succulent and ending with a complex dance of wet stone and berry.

In 1982 Sir Peter and Lady Margaret Michael built the Peter Michael Winery on a square mile of rocky volcanic ridges that form the western face of Mount St. Helena in Knights Valley, Sonoma County, California. The estate vineyards rest on steep hillsides ranging in elevation from 1100 to nearly 2000 feet. Of the nearly 600 estate acres, only about 20% are planted to grapes. Peter Michael Winery is best known for single-vineyard and estate grown Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and a Cabernet Sauvignon cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The Peter Michael Winery remains true to its commitment to growing classic grape varieties in small mountain vineyards in order to produce great wines using classical winemaking techniques. Given this covenant to the product, only a limited quantity will ever be available.
