Peter Michael 2011 Clos Du Ciel Pinot Noir

Peter Michael 2011 Clos Du Ciel Pinot Noir

Clos du Ciel has a deep red ruby color and an intense nose of black cherry, cassis, strawberry liqueur, and black raspberry with truffle, graphite and leather notes. The wine has a sensual texture and impressive length, exhibiting heavy notes of fruits and spice along with a full-bodied mouthfeel. 2011 Clos du Ciel will benefit from a couple of years of cellaring resulting in a developed bouquet.

Critical Acclaim

94 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Another gorgeous, perfectly balanced wine, although not quite as rich as 2010, is the 2011 Pinot Noir Clos de Ciel. Lots of forest floor, underbrush, cola and red and black currant characteristics are present in this more evolved yet surprisingly powerful and dense 2011.

92 Wine Spectator

An elegant, graceful style, this is youthful, with vibrant, snappy blueberry, wild berry and anise flavors, enlivened by zesty acidity and ending with a long, persistent finish.
