2021 Peter Michael L’Apres Midi Knights Valley Sauvignon Blanc

The 2021 ‘L’Après-Midi’ shimmers a pale, light gold in the glass as the bouquet of lime zest, lemon curd, pear tart, and gooseberry mixes with accents of jasmine and baking spices. A lively, juicy entry leads to flavors of fresh peach, grapefruit, apricot, and guava. The plush, textured mouthfeel frames this medium- to full-bodied wine, which finishes with accents of lemon meringue pie, acacia honey, and key lime. The 2021 ‘L’Après-Midi’ will continue to blossom in bottle for several years but is also approachable in its youth. 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Sémillonvinification: 100% naturally fermented using native yeasts100% barrel-fermented in French oak from select artisan coopersaging: Barrel-aged sur lies for eight months with gentle biweekly bâtonnage
