See PPANDIAN's Jan 2024 note below. Rate it a bit higher b/c structure and balance are quite excellent. Since 2022, Peay is under the new "West Sonoma Coast" AVA. For now this entry level Pinot continues to be very well priced.

Excellent old-style rustic, bracing Bordeaux, delicious, clears the throat, unpretentious, simple, what you see is what you get; suggest opening the day before or decanting for a couple of hours. Could stand a few more years in the bottle, but ok to drink right now. This is a mid-tier $50 or $60 product unrelated to Belair Monage or other high end Bordeaux wines, or low end products with similar names, like Bel-air Lalande de Pomerol. It must not be possible to secure IP rights over "Belair" in France.

On day 2 harshness is muted, and the finish is shorter, a bit watery.
