Peay Vineyards, Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, 2017
Sonoma Coast Pinot from a hilltop perched four miles from the Pacific, now nine years on and showing the depth that Peay's cool corner reliably delivers. Vanessa Wong — winemaker since the estate's founding, with a CV that runs through Peter Michael, Lafite, and Domaine Jean Gros — turns out an appellation-level Pinot built from the same 53-acre estate that produces their single-vineyard bottlings. The 2017 vintage was famously warm at the start and cooled through harvest, and at this stage the wine has the secondary-character development that defines Pinot Noir's most rewarding window: less primary fruit, more forest floor, dried flower, and savory undertow. A serious bottle from one of the West Sonoma Coast's defining producers, drinking beautifully now.
