Peay Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

9.3

Williams Selyem with this kind of age never disappoints, nor does the 2012 Napa/Sonoma vintage.

Mid & darker fruits & mid berry cola burst out of glass. Limestone minerals, crushed rock, steeped tea and bright, fresh red florals.

It glides on the palate with ripe, juicy fruits that are; dark cherries, strawberries, blackberries, black raspberries, pomegranate, dry cranberries, blueberries & some boysenberries. Red cola/licorice, dark spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, vanillin, dark rich soil, dry twig, crushed limestone, dry top soil, saline, fresh, bright, dark, red forals with violets, excellent rainfall acidity with an elegant, balanced finish that falls on dry minerals and that lasts two-minutes.

Quality consistent yr in yr out. Their style is my Pinot wheelhouse. Now owned by Domaine Faiveley.

Nose of floral; dark cherries, black plum, blackberries, black raspberries, plum with hues of blueberries. Softly layered baking spices-cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, vanilla, baking soda, black cherry licorice nibs, red cola, steeped black tea, sandalwood to cedar, sandstone-limestone mixed marl and brilliant, bright, dark, red, blue flowers framed in violets and lavender.
