fter drinking many of the greatest wines in the world and after long consideration, it is quite clear that great wine is the result of choosing the correct grapes, planting them in the right spot and then preparing the wine carefully to preserve the tastes and aromas that the vineyard has provided.”
             -Sir Peter Michael

In 1982 Sir Peter Michael established the Peter Michael winery on a square mile of rocky volcanic ridges that form the western face of Mount St. Helena in Sonoma County. From the beginning, the wine growing philosophy was modeled on the French tradition infused with a few modern influences:

One, the vineyard terroir would be the single most important feature. Two, the wines would be elegant rather than overstated. Three, there would be a hundred-year commitment to the development of a great estate.

Given this commitment to the product, only a limited quantity will ever be made.
