Note di degustazione
One of California’s most delicious wines for drinking during its first 2-3 years of life is Peter Michael’s Sauvignon Blanc l’Apres Midi. The crisp 2004 (88% Sauvignon Blanc and 12% Semillon) offers up scents of figs, melons, oranges, oak, mangoes, and wax. Enjoy it over the next several years.

Pale color. Pungent aromas of grapefruit and minerals. Dense, full and almost painfully concentrated, with intense grapefruit, crushed stone and mineral flavors complicated by nuances of gooseberry and honeysuckle, as well as some rounder notes of quince and apricot. This wine features 12% semillon, the highest percentage to date in this cuvee, and saw less than 15% new oak. Finishes juicy, gripping and wonderfully long. On this day, I cannot recall ever having tasted a more impressive bottle of sauvignon blanc from the New World.
