User Reviews for Peter Michael Sauvignon Blanc Knights Valley L'Apres-Midi

Winemaker's Notes:

The 1998 L'Apres-Midi is now solely sourced from our own estate vineyard on the slopes of Mount St. Helena. Grapes were hand-picked and hand-sorted, whole cluster pressed and then barrel fermented in French oak with 60% indigenous yeasts. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc was ”sur lie" aged in the barrel for ten months and bottled in August, 1999.

Tasting Notes:

Gooseberry fruit, grapefruit oils, and lemon zest aromas are complemented by a hint of sweet oak. With a full fruit entry, the vibrant flavors exude a variety of citrus on the palate, including pink grapefruit, lemons and tangerines with pleasing slate-like mineral tones evoking the terroir.
