Violets, blue fruits, and a hint of pepper. Fine, powdery, tannins. Good acidity. Elegant. Somewhat short finish. Tasty. Would not wait more than a couple of yrs, if I had more bottles.

I really liked the flavor profile of the wine, but I felt that the nose and the length weren’t up to that level. Still a bit of structure to resolve, but just a bit, and I’m not sure that it’d be more to my liking without said structure.

Peay syrah! Aromas of blue fruit with a very slight pepper and earthiness. Flavors of about the same - blueberries, slight pepper, and the minerality of the Peay vineyard - remember the shells (scallop shelf pinot). Vanessa is well trained in her craft and keeps refining her product! A little pronounced in acidity (it's a syrah) but mild smooth drinking tannins with that slight earthiness that Peay always gives you.
