Peter Michael Pinot Noir Le Caprice Sonoma Coast 2017 750ml

Le Caprice is the Peter Michael Winery Pinot Noir from seaside vineyards in the Fort Ross-Seaview area of the Sonoma Coast, and it is typically the first site picked each harvest. The 2017 reminded Jeb Dunnuck of Volnay, with a perfume of ripe strawberries, blackberries, violets and cedary spice. Complex and medium to full-bodied, it combines real elegance with a long, graceful finish. Sir Peter Michael's estate built its name in Knights Valley, but these coastal Pinots now rank among California's most sought-after. Already hard to resist, the 2017 should continue evolving over the next decade, rewarding patience with more savory complexity.
