Signature pairings
- Thai grilled river prawns with tamarind dip (กุ้งแม่น้ำเผา) — Sweet grilled prawn flesh and sour tamarind flatter the wine's red-cherry and dried-orange-peel register without fighting its polished tannin. Keep it off the chilli: at 14.9% alcohol this Pinot has no defence against capsaicin.
- Duck breast with cherry and thyme — The textbook Pinot Noir match. Duck fat meets the wine's mid-palate juiciness, and a cherry reduction mirrors the black and red cherry the producer's own notes describe.
- Mushroom and truffle risotto — Earthy mushroom draws out the forest-floor and coastal-spice side of the wine, and the creamy starch cushions its tannin while leaving the floral aromatics intact.
Peter Michael's Le Caprice is a refined expression of Sonoma County Pinot Noir, showcasing the varietal's hallmark elegance and versatility. The 2017 vintage reveals bright red cherry and strawberry on the nose, supported by subtle oak and spice from careful winemaking. On the palate, medium-full body and balanced tannins create a silky mouthfeel, while earthy undertones and mineral notes add complexity and food-friendliness. This wine bridges primary fruit intensity with secondary oak character and tertiary earth, making it an ideal companion to roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, and tomato-based preparations.
