This is our twenty-second vintage of the Estate Chardonnay and the vine age and the long, cool, fall weather resulted in a wine with signature focus, tension, and refinement. This translates to the wine in citrus blossom, mint, and basil aromas cradled by wet stone and light hoppy notes. The weight is medium to light bodied yet the texture is silky like a woman’s elbow-length glove. This is an energetic and fresh Chardonnay unburdened by fat and simply magnificent.

The aroma bursts with tell-tale Ama cherry and apple skin notes with hints of pomegranate sneaking in. A touch of dried pine needle/forest floor and lead pencil frame the bright, playful fruit aromas. The wine has mouth-watering acidity and for Pinot Noir is decidedly perfumed and light on its feet. With a half-hour decant the mid-palate fills out and gains some heft. This wine is gorgeous right now.

Best Scallop Shelf to date. Bam! Need I say more? Okay, I will. The aroma is deep with sour dark cherry notes framed by floral and spice elements. Less of the typical blood orange and orange rind quality common with this cuveé and more robust fruit flavors leaning into red fruits. As the wine sits on the tongue, aromas of jasmine tea and forest floor lay a foundation under the fruit.

With all the barrels of the 2022 Syrahs were such excellent examples of Peay Estate Syrah, we decided to make our first Peay West Sonoma Coast Estate Syrah. Green olive, meat, and new leather aromas on the nose sit on top of a plum and blackberry core of fruit. The wine is fresh and energetic and the tannins are supple making it approachable and enjoyable right now.

Akin in style to Cornas but our Syrah always has a lot more acidity, freshness, and lower alcohol than found in wines from that singular region of France. The 2022 Les Titans is true to form with aromas of BBQ, steak, and game framing a blackberry and lamb shank jus core of flavor. Whiffs of lavender keep the wine lifted, making me think of a Côte Rôtie Syrah with fewer stem flavors.

At first sniff, aromas of elderberries, poached pear, wax, linen, cured lemon, and toasted almond emerge in succession. With a few minutes of air in the glass, the volume in the nose gets turned up and up! On the palate, the flavors are intense, really pronounced. There is incredible mid-palate depth though this is not a fat wine but focused and energetic. The aromas linger on the long finish and with such brisk acidity, the 2023 Roussanne/Marsanne is set to age as long as you desire.

The great wines I have drunk in my life have density and depth of flavor—power—but remain finesse-driven and balanced and not over-burdened with extract from over-ripeness. This is the 2023 Pomarium in spades. I encourage you to buy enough Pomarium to taste over a stretch of time.

This is such a seductive wine, it is definitely the easiest Pinot Noir we make to just flat out like. It is yummy. The flavors are persistent on the palate with some teak notes on the finish and a freshness that encourages you to keep on taking sips.

This blend has emerged as the signature Pinot Noir from our estate vineyard incorporating most of the clones and blocks we grow. In a vintage like 2023, this has everything you could hope for from a Peay Pinot Noir; elegance, complexity, depth of flavor, bright aromatics, approachability.

In 2023, the Chardonnay was really singular. Just stunning and good enough to vineyard designate. The aroma reminds me of toast with lemon curd and a smell of the salty sea. The texture on the palate is silky but not heavy with subtle almond, plantain, and the lemon oil and curd aromas lingering on a long finish.

Another blockbuster West Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. The aroma is captivating with golden delicious apple. Inflections of cooked and candied lemon pop about as you breathe in. The palate is seamless and gorgeous with silky roundness on a spine of minerality and acidity.

The aroma of the 2022 La Bruma bursts from the glass with black and blue fruit framed by leather, cedar, graphite, and hints of white pepper. The palate has more of the savory iron notes like a medium rare strip steak. Hints of blood orange and blackberry linger on the bright finish.

The floral nose is lifted with green apple blossoms, pomelo skin, lemongrass, and guava notes wafting from the glass. The texture on the mouth is silky yet not heavy or oily with pronounced minerality lingering on the top of the mouth and back of the palate.

The 2024 Hopkins Rosé of Pinot noir is fresh, bright, and immediately gratifying. The light floral and fruit aromas draw immediate attention emphasizing watermelon rind and green strawberry leaf.

The 2021 vintage made incredible Syrah. The Cep cuvée is a little more approachable than the Peay Syrahs as it does not have any new oak or whole cluster aromas that need a few years to integrate. Otherwise, this tastes exactly like the Peay Les Titans Syrah. The nose emphasizes blue fruits and violets with white pepper and olive accents. The weight on the palate is medium bodied and not heavy with refreshing acidity that keeps the wine precise and focused. A little of the savory steak and lamb sauce flavors linger on the long finish.
