Open 3 bottles of this second label Peay Pinot Noir over the last 3 weeks.
I did not decant. It could use about one hour though. I want to watch how this wine evolved. Deep rich color purplish. on the nose Cherry and strawberry with a mild black pepper scents. On the taste the Cherry tones are bold at first then come the spicy tones that I look for from Peay. I does evolve with time and I began to get some strawberry tones as air got o it.. My favorite 2012 Pinot under $40.00. And probably will get better with a little more time.

Just coming into it's own. I decanted it for two hours. Still needed a little more time. But worth the wait! Black fruit with a hint of smoke. Good balance but will probably get better with another year!!
The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry and black currant (cassis).

decanted for one hour, well balanced full of dark fruits with a little pepper. Still a little young but drinking good now. In a year or two I think this wine will only improve!I can see my scores hitting 93 points in 2014...

Beautiful yellow /green tone wine. Nose: pineapple, honey,peach tones. Palate: Honey, pineapple and hint of spiced peach with strong presents of minerals. Wine opened up after an hour so I will decant for an hour next time. Finish: was simple but delightful with a hint of bitter. Great food wine! I served this wine with scallops saute in orange congac with a 4 chesse sauce over pasta.

I usally do not rate my wines but I had to on this wine. No decanting, straight out of the bottle. A Dark red purple color, medium body, on the nose dark chocolate with dark fruits. First sip a lite touch of oak back by a dark cherry and plum tones with a hint of spice and liquorice. Tannis were soft but will improve a little bit more with age, but drinking well now! Silky and smooth going down, no real heat coming from this wine. Just a great wine! If you got it your lucky! This wine is a gem for the price. Should have bought 2 cases instead of the one.

My first Barolo of the year and it was outstanding... Can not add anything to what already has been said! Just and outstanding wine! THe Foral and Pums tones we fantastic, and the touch of anisette was perfect! Decanted for an hour. It was one of 5 bottles taken to a BYOB and was the show case wine of the night.

My last 08 bottle!! Darn it,,, Light medium bodiy burgundy. Crisp with green apple and a touch of citrus on the back end. Smooth but complex at the same time. Can only hope that the 09's are as good.

Still young. Needs a couple of years yet! Mediunm body with a drak garnet color. Oakey smell is a little over powering at first, after a couple of hours it tamed down a little and dark fruits start to come out. I will try again in two years. Great value point for this quality wine.

After reading some of the other reports is was not sure what to expect. This wine is NOT the in your face, power house Napa cab. BUT it was a vert pleasant and soft Napa cab. Tanis were well intergrated and smooth going down. It is a dry cab with a medium body with dark fruit over tones. This is a strong 89 point wine but not more then that. But it was what I was looking for late last night to help me relax a little! Perfect wine for that.Or even for a nice veal dish!

For being past its time, it was a beautiful bottle of wine. Deep Grante red color, excellent fuirt tone still showing thru with a mild spice kicker
I do not think it has a lot of time left but for now I wished I had more then one bottle to go...

Open this wine to go with a nice grillrd sirlon steak and grill fresh veggies! Violets on the nose with dark berry fruit on the palte. A little short on the finish but for the price it is a good wine. Again, it would show even better if I had the time to decant!
