The man behind Pavette is Baron Ziegler. His first label Banshee Wines turned up such a cult following that people were tattooing themselves with the brand, it was eventually sold to a major US distributor. Ziegler, a self described Sonoma guy got to work on putting together a label that made affordable, down to earth and utterly delicious Californian fare. Pavette means little peacock and the labels motto is always be struttin!
Dealing in the standard Sonoma varietals of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet and Zinfandel, he has managed to create a line of wines that punches way above their weight and convey the unique Californian terroir. We have 2 of each of the reds here, the revelation for me being the Zinfandel, a variety I was not crazy about until I found this! (combo with one of each with 2 Chardonnay available in drop-down box).
