2005 Peter Michael "Le Moulin Rouge-Pisoni Vineyard" Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir (1.5L)

92 Points Vinous: "Dark red. Sexy raspberry and blackberry aromas, with gentle spice notes adding complexity. Lush and sweet, with pure red and dark berry flavors unsullied by herb, earth or animal. Fresh and juicy on the finish, with a subtle hint of smoked meat rising on the back. This is very elegant and balanced for cellaring." (05/2007)

91 Points from Wine Spectator: "The 2005 Pinot Noir Le Moulin Rouge has a dark ruby/purple color, with tart acidity holding back the wine’s forceful black cherry and raspberry notes intermixed with licorice, spring flowers, and forest floor. The wine is tightly knit and will benefit from several years of bottle age; it will last at least a decade or more." (12/27/07)

From Wine Spectator: "Offers a mix of mineral, herb and dried currant flavors that are firm and well-structured, clamping down a bit on the finish. Yet this is still alluring for its complexity." (9/30/2007)
