NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Peter Michael Les Pavots is a full-bodied, intense, and concentrated red blend made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.Aromas of dark cherry and blackberry mingle with hints of mocha, leather, and cedar. On the palate, rich and chewy tannins are balanced by a juicy acidity. The finish is smooth and long, with an elegant array of flavors. Enjoy this exquisite wine for its complexity and depth.
