Peter Michael Ma Danseuse Pinot Noir 2019

Robert ParkerScents of roses, black tea and black cherries appear on the nose of the 2019 Pinot Noir Ma Danseuse. This bottling is on the slightly fuller-bodied side (14.4% alcohol) but by no means overweight, with a wonderfully plush, silky texture and tremendous length on the finish.

James SucklingLots of cherries and strawberries with notes of orange peel, mushrooms and crushed raspberries. Full-bodied with tight, tannic power in the center-palate. Long and fresh. Vivid. Spicy at the end. This has fantastic energy. Drink or hold.

Jeb DunnuckThe 2019 Pinot Noir Ma Danseuse is up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. Coming from the Fort Ross-Seaview appellation, its translucent ruby hue is followed by a medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir that's loaded with gorgeous strawberry and black cherry fruits as well as ripe, polished tannins, a layered, deep, concentrated mid-palate, loads of spice and dried flower nuances, and an opulent yet also pure and precise style that's a joy to drink. It will keep for a solid decade.

VinousThe 2019 Pinot Noir Ma Danseuse is laced with the essence of dark cherry/plum fruit, with hints of sage, mint lavender and earthiness that add character. The tannins are pretty incisive at this stage, but a few years in bottle should do the trick. This is another impressive wine from Peter Michael.
