Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
The wine is intense and perfumed, exhibiting a bouquet of lemon cream, honey, and candied grapefruit, with subtle notes of spring flowers. The palate is rich, full-bodied and boasts a creamy mouthfeel with stunning hints of stone fruits, pear, dry apricot and brioche. A mineral character and suggestions of pain grille and hazelnut complete each taste alongside its spectacular, long finish; it is enjoyable now and will continue developing for seven-plus years.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
More of a near-term proposition, there are only 920 cases of the sexy 2011 Chardonnay Mon Plaisir. It displays plenty of rich pineapple, apricot and peach fruit intermixed with brioche notes, a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel, and a stunning finish. This very successful 2011 can be enjoyed over the next 4-5 years.

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.
