Description

Peter Michael 2020 'Au Paradis' Cabernet Sauvignon, Knight's ValleyRare new release from cult winery Peter Michael. Limited. 97 Points Jeb Dunnuck: " Pouring an opaque red, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Au Paradis is lush and refined with aromas of cassis, espresso, violets, and sweet tobacco. Full bodied, this refined profile continues on the palate, with a ripe, velvety texture, fine tannins, and notes of black cherry liqueur and mocha, as well as floral oils that last long on the palate without feeling heavy." 96

Achieving their desired style and profile for their first release was accomplished through careful vineyard and clonal selection

and a kiss of wood smoke on the finish

Paradigm is one of our favorite Napa Valley Cabernets

it’s actually a value because it can hang with the top Cabs we have

Another beautiful small-production Pinot Noir from Walter Hansel who continues to make a small amount of Pinot Noir down the road from Kistler

99) 96 Points Wine Enthusiast - a great small discovery

which destroyed numerous vines and the tasting platform—the winery itself and most of the vines were saved—the site now offers expansive views over Napa Valley

Boxwood on the finish gives the wine length and vibrant freshness

An absolute diva of a wine

no hard edges and impeccable balance

Drink after 2026

the tannins long and the acidity persistent
