Praise from Jeb Dunnuck: "Located north of Napa Valley, in the Knights Valley AVA of Sonoma, Peter Michael utilizes the incredible talent of Frenchman Nicolas Morlet (whose brother Luc runs Morlet Estate in Napa, and was previously the winemaker at Peter Michael). These classic, traditionally made wines certainly have an old world feel/style, yet never lose their California soul." (6/2018)

Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2020 Chardonnay Mon Plaisir has aromas of crushed rock, savory chive, and ripe pear. It offers a beautifully rich texture with a stony mineral feel and layers of complexity that should continue unfold over the next 10 or more years. I look forward to seeing it mature. (AF)” (08/2022)

James Suckling
“Plenty of flint, dried-lemon and sliced-apple aromas and flavors with some crushed stone and pine needle. Medium- to full-bodied. Creamy and chewy palate, but always reserved and tight. Punchy at the end, with phenolics and acidity.” (10/2022)

Wine Spectator
“Precise and highly detailed, revealing orange blossom and honeycomb aromas, with flavors of tangerine and peach bursting forward. The finish features lingering notes of candied ginger and minerality. (MW)” (07/2022)
