Peter Michael Winery is one of California's most celebrated family-owned estates, founded by Sir Peter Michael in 1982. Best known for its exceptional Sonoma Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, the winery also produces outstanding Bordeaux-style reds from Napa Valley. Au Paradis showcases the estate's meticulous approach to winemaking and its pursuit of elegance alongside power.
The wine comes from a prized vineyard in Oakville, on the eastern side of Napa Valley, where well-drained, gravelly soils provide ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2020 vintage was challenging across Napa, making careful vineyard management and fruit selection particularly important. French oak maturation adds depth and structure to this concentrated, age-worthy wine.
Blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum meet graphite, cedar, tobacco and subtle spice. The palate is rich and layered, with polished tannins, concentrated fruit and a long, savoury finish. Excellent with grilled ribeye, braised beef or aged cheeses. A sophisticated Oakville Cabernet blend with the structure and complexity to reward further cellaring.
