2024 Peay Vineyards West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Flat out gorgeous. The depth of flavor and texture of the 2022 with the lift, grace, and balance of the 2023. Top notes of Earl Grey tea with raspberry fruit emerging over time. Aromas of boysenberry and brass come to the fore in the mid palate with a dried leaf and forest floor note serving as the base drum.
This blend has emerged as the signature Pinot Noir from our estate vineyard incorporating most of the clones and blocks we grow. Barrels of Scallop Shelf, Ama, and
Pomarium are in this wine and, as a result, it is exemplary - elegant, complex, deep
in flavor yet aromatic, and approachable - and all at an affordable price.
The 2024 West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is flat out gorgeous. It has the depth of flavor and texture of the 2022 with the lift, grace, and balance of the 2023. The nose features top notes of Earl Grey tea with raspberry fruit emerging over time. On the palate, additional aromas of boysenberry and brass come to the fore in the mid palate with a dried leaf and forest floor note serving as the base drum. This is the fourth vintage in a row where I am just gob-smacked by the West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
and feel the 2024 is perhaps at the pinnacle of this cuve?e’s potential. Drink this wine now and over the next 10-15 years.
