2023 Peay Vineyards West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir - 375mL

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. The nose displays a balance of fruit, floral, and earth aromas featuring orange peel, pomegranate, cherry pipe tobacco, and underbrush aromas. The mouthfeel is bright but not nervy with a long finish and great depth of flavor. I tasted it next to a bottle I had tasted from Coravin 3 weeks previously. It was interesting to see how the wine in the second bottle had filled out in the mid-palate and was more mouth-filling while staying lifted. Makes me think you should decant to let breathe a little when drinking it now.
