Tasting notes
Peay's 2013 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard is pretty, open-knit and expressive. The bright flavors are typical of the Peay style, but there is an extra level of richness from this warm Anderson Valley site that softens the contours and gives this wine much of its near to medium-term appeal. I find the wine's exuberant, racy personality compelling.

The 2013 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard captures the essence of this Anderson Valley site. Nuanced and finely sculpted throughout, the 2012 is all about detail. Edgy yet nicely-integrated tannins give the 2013 its sense of energy and tension. Hard candy, spices and rose petals add complexity to the intensely perfumed finish. This is another strong showing from Peay.
