Peter Michael, Santa Lucia Highlands, Le Moulin Rouge, Pinot Noir 2010
Fruit Source: Pisoni Vineyard
95 Points CellarTracker
Upon opening, I strained and decanted the wine. Beautiful nose which was not your typical Pinot Noir nose from Sonoma Valley or even from the Santa Barbara area. The initial taste was delightful with nice floral and fruit flavors. This also did not remind me of the typical Pinots that I have previously enjoyed which sometimes can be a bit sharp in the initial taste. It was complex and highly evolved. The years have done it well and it appears to me that it can still be stored for more years but is a wonderful wine now and no need to wait any longer to enjoy. A beautiful Peter Michael wine! 1/18/2023

My favorite of this quartet is the 2010 Pinot Noir Moulin Rouge Pisoni Vineyard, which was harvested three weeks later than the 2009. The 2010 reveals lots of cassis, black raspberry jam, spring flower and loamy, dusty soil notes as well as a full-bodied, opulent style. (RP) (12/2013)

Pure, rich and polished, gliding along the palate, with a delicious core of blueberry, wild berry and raspberry fruit that's spicy and minerally, with a touch of loaminess. Gains a lift on the finish. (JL) (8/2012)
