  Very pretty bottle that’s just clinging to the edge of ripeness. Bosky aromas of hedge fruit, a whiff of pepper, bracken and wild flowers make up the airy and expansive nose. The palate offers more wild berry and loamy flavors with little incandescent flashes of Pinot spice. Fine acidity and mostly resolved structure. Each sip seems prettier than the last. Fine pairing with pork cutlets with pecan mint pesto, black-eyed pea salad and sautéed string beans. Really enjoyed this. Heck of a bottle from a tough vintage.

  Cork crumbled but the windd we was superb. Long mesmerizing finish and that perfect Peay balance that I love.

  Prior bottle was almost 16 months ago and this wine continues to show well. Red berry, red cherry, vanilla and oak on the nose. Medium bodied with tart, yet bright red berry upfront. Roundness develops quickly as it brings in red cherry through the middle showing good contrast and density. Tart notes, especially cranberry come in on the backside. Acidity is a bit more integrated than with the prior bottle and finishes with light spices, mineral and earth notes.
  
  In terms of development, the wine showed positive integration and better balance, but has lost a bit of the nuance and silky elegance that the first bottle showed. It was drunk over three hours as opposed to six previously, but it simply felt like as the wine came together, it just lost a small step of prior complexity. All that said, it's still showing quite well, is at peak and should be able to hold this level for another year easily.
