Labeled as 13% abv. This wine is both "easy drinking" and elegant. Slightly tart berries and a touch of spice mark the flavor palate. There are some tannins present--perhaps from grape skins or whole cluster? This could be cellared for several more years or consumed now. 92-94

Reminds me of Oregon Pinot Noir. Avoids the over extraction often associated with California. Chocolate notes present. Tannin slightly dominant, but copious fruit is present. Finishes a little hot.

This is a well made Sonoma Coast PN. Medium ruby red color. Bright refreshing red fruit, some orange peel, and it is clearly just entering its optimal drinking winbow. Wish I had more. (Note: Not for fans of Cali PN who like big, dark PNs with extracted fruit).

Aromas of raspberry pie with its crust, dry sunbaked hills, evocative fragrance. Round and delicious fruit on the palate with a lovely lightness, a beautiful acid under layer, and an exuberant but grounded pinot undertone.

Peay Release Party 2017 (Peay Vineyards, Sonoma): Surprising black pepper on the nose. Elegant red and white cherry notes (Ranier cherry). Ripe peach. No impression of oak. Dry, light-bodied, medium alcohol (feels 13.5%), high acid, low tannins.

Pop and pour. Dry red cherry and raspberry fruit. Balanced acidity. Preferred this on day 2. Still young. 13% abv.
