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...
