Peter Michael “Au Paradis” Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptional wine that unites the richness of Napa Valley’s terroir with the refined style of Peter Michael. Sourced from Oakville’s hillside and its renowned “red dirt” soils, it gains remarkable depth, structure, and complexity.
In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby hue and generous aromas of black currant, blackberry, and ripe dark cherry, delicately interwoven with notes of violet, dried rose, black tea, graphite, spice, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is velvety and full-bodied, with perfectly ripe tannins and a layered texture that leads to a long, elegant finish.
This is a wine that delights today yet promises outstanding evolution over the coming decades.
