Moving the cellar and found this pleasant surprise. Been in a 56 degree cellar so in wonderful shape. We’ve been buying Peay for years and are fans of their light touch, age ability and true-to-terroir character. PNP, pale rose on the edge, lovely and immediately expressive nose. Lovely acidity, nice lighter, red-leaning fruit, a bit of rose and herb. But mostly just a nice, flavorful and lovely CA Pinot in a nice drinking window. If I had more I wouldn’t feel rushed. Just bought a bunch of their 2021s which are supposedly amazing. They may outlive me!

Friday night, 2011 Peay Savoy Vineyard (Anderson Valley) PN. Wow, what a wonderful bottle of wine from one of my very favorite vineyards. Relatively young, with an exploding bouquet of red fruit, rose-floral notes, leather, and baking spices. Juicy and sleek, with years to go, but definitely ready to be enjoyed. Just plain yummy.

Peay - to me - is quintessential california pinot. Juicy, complex, definitively American, but so well made. never cloying, but never weedy, pale or trying to not be something it is. Consistent!

A very pleasant surprise. Light to medium body; lovely fruit, subtle textures, fruit, herbs . . . .
