Peter Michael Ma Danseuse Pinot Noir 2017

Peter Michael Ma Danseuse Pinot Noir 2017 is an elegant, finely detailed expression of California Pinot Noir from the cool Anderson Valley. Produced from hand-harvested grapes grown on steep slopes cooled by Pacific Ocean fog, it combines fragrant fruit, silky texture and precise structure. The wine captures the modern Californian approach to Pinot Noir, where ripeness is balanced by freshness and transparency.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a bright ruby colour and offers an expressive nose of ripe cherries, raspberries and wild berries, complemented by delicate floral nuances and a subtle touch of spice. On the palate, it is silky and refined, with precise acidity, rounded tannins and a beautifully balanced progression. The finish is long, polished and lifted, leaving a lingering impression of red fruit and gentle spice. Its combination of concentration and freshness makes the 2017 vintage enjoyable now, while careful cellaring can allow it to develop further complexity over the coming years.

Production
The cool climate of Anderson Valley, together with the influence of Pacific Ocean fog, slows the ripening process and helps preserve Pinot Noir’s natural freshness and aromatic precision. The grapes are hand-harvested from steep hillside vineyards before being carefully vinified to retain the purity of the fruit and the character of the site. The result is a Pinot Noir with both intensity and transparency.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 14–16°C to highlight the wine’s fragrance and delicate structure. It pairs particularly well with roast duck, grilled or roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, salmon, pork tenderloin and lightly seasoned game. Decanting is not essential, but a gentle decant of 30–45 minutes can help reveal additional layers when enjoying the wine now.

Producer
Peter Michael Winery is known for producing small quantities of finely crafted wines from carefully selected Californian vineyard sites. Its focus on expressive terroir, meticulous vineyard work and restrained winemaking has earned the estate a strong reputation among producers of premium California Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Ma Danseuse reflects this house style through its combination of aromatic detail, elegance and precise structure.
