2009 Peter Michael "Le Moulin Rouge-Pisoni Vineyard" Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir (1.5L)

94 Points from Wine Spectator: "Firm, rich, intense and concentrated, this fragrant, well-structured red shows loamy earth, dried berry, mineral and cedar notes. Slow to unfold, this gains depth and dimension while retaining a tight framework." (7/31/2011)

92 Points from Robert Parker: "The 2009 Pinot Noir Moulin Rouge Pisoni Vineyard, which was harvested on September 6th, exhibits lots of dark blue and black raspberry fruit, some minerality, medium to full body, and a compact, still austere finish. It will benefit from more time in the bottle, and should drink well for 6-8 years." (12/29/13)

92 Points Vinous: "The 2009 Pinot Noir Le Moulin Rouge Pisoni Vineyard emerges from the glass with soft, floral infused raspberries, hard candy and spices. It is a pretty, elegant wine that captures both the essence of the Pisoni Vineyard and the Peter Michael house style." (2/2012)
