Tasting notes
Bright ruby-red. Sexy, high-pitched raspberry and cherry scents are complicated by fresh flowers and pungent spices. Silky and sweet on the palate, with an array of red fruit flavors that pick up a cola quality with air. Finishes with very good energy and lift and supple tannins, leaving a candied rose note behind.

The 2012 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is almost atypically dense and ripe for Peay. Juicy, expressive and layered, the 2012 is firing on all cylinders today. Plum, dark cherry and spice notes abound in an extroverted Pinot with considerable near term appeal. The 2012 is 80% estate fruit and 20% Campbell Ranch.
