2023 Peay Vineyards West Sonoma Coast Syrah, West Sonoma Coast
This is our second vintage of the Estate Syrah coming from our 25 year old vines. There is a little pink peppercorn framing the floral notes and a core of deeper fresh blood and red fruit. On the first sip, my mind immediately jumps to a vision of a juicy NY strip steak. Flavors of blackberry linger on the long finish. In many ways, the wine has the weight, structure and freshness of a high quality Sangiovese. It is not heavy, meaty, or juicy and will pair with everything from salmon to pork to red meats.
$42/btl during release, $45/btl post release
“A wonderful example of cool-climate syrah, showing lovely aromas of thyme blossoms, lavender, sage and white pepper. Medium-bodied with balanced acidity.”
95 Points James Suckling, Courtney Humiston, June 2026
This is our second vintage of the Estate Syrah coming from our 25 year old vines. The 2022 was a product of a moderate growing season with warmth at the end that gave the wine mid palate heft. The 2023 growing season on the contrary was cool and long and the aromas really lean into the lavender and floral nature of our Syrah. There is a little pink peppercorn framing the floral notes and a core of deeper fresh blood and red fruit. On the first sip, my mind immediately jumps to a vision of a juicy NY strip steak. Flavors of blackberry linger on the long finish. In many ways, the wine has the weight, structure and freshness of a high quality Sangiovese. It is not heavy, meaty, or juicy and will pair with everything from salmon to pork to red meats.
