Limited new release from Peay Vineyards and the legendary Savoy Vineyard. The Peay Vineyards Savoy Vineyard Pinot Noir is a marvelous effort. Wines from this site always dance and drift between being savory forward and fruit forward. This vintage displays brilliant purity of fruit, always a bit more black and blue than Peay's estate wines. It is balanced by a haunting hint of earth on the finish and is laced with fragrant lavender and Szechuan spice. previous vintage 94 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The Peay Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard is absolutely gorgeous. In this vintage, the Savoy has a bit more complexity, layers and depth than in some previous vintages. Dark blue and purplish berry fruit, lavender, spice and mint are some of the notes that shape this succulent, wonderfully satisfying Pinot. This is a fabulous Savoy." 94 Points Robert Parker: "Medium ruby, the Peay Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard offers plush black berry fruits on the nose with notes of fir, forest floor and black tea leaves. Medium-bodied, the palate is silky and seamlessly fresh, offering a flush of earth-laced fruits and lingering spices on the finish. 340 cases were made.
