"There are 75 cases of the provocative 1993 Point Blanc. It displays a saturated color . . . and more concentration, body, and extract on the palate. Revealing a striking similarity to a top Bordeaux made in a ripe style, it is a beautifully knit, graceful, complex, herb, mineral, cassis, and cigar-box-scented and flavored wine. It will be released next year and should age well . . . . Led by Mark Aubert, one of California's most talented, enthusiastic, and energetic young wine-making teams is pushing Peter Michael into the stratosphere. This is one of the most exciting wineries in not only Sonoma, California, but the world. It is not often you find a winery making exceptional Sauvignon, multiple cuvées of profoundly rich Chardonnays, and a Bordeaux-styled, classy, complex red wine. No one is missing a step at this winery located in the beautiful Knight's Valley, on the road between Calistoga and Santa Rosa."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
