{"product_id":"peay-vineyards-pinot-noir-sonoma-coast-2023","title":"Peay Vineyards - Pinot Noir West Sonoma Coast 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeay Vineyards began with brothers Nick and Andy Peay searching for a place to grow wines defined by freshness, complexity, and a distinctive sense of place. In 1996, they purchased a remote former sheep ranch near Annapolis, in Sonoma County’s far northwestern corner. Just four miles from the Pacific Ocean, the property offered the cool conditions they wanted, even as others questioned whether grapes would reliably ripen there. The brothers planted their first 30 acres in 1998, establishing a vineyard from the ground up. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe family partnership took shape when Vanessa Wong joined as winemaker in 2001, ahead of the vineyard’s first harvest. A San Francisco native, Wong brought experience from Château Lafite-Rothschild, Domaine Jean Gros, and Peter Michael Winery, where she had worked as both assistant winemaker and winemaker. She married Nick the following year. Her belief that a wine’s identity begins in its vineyard became central to Peay: Nick oversees farming, Vanessa guides the wines, and Andy manages the business and introduces the bottles to the wider world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the 53-acre estate vineyard occupies a hilltop surrounded by forest in the West Sonoma Coast.  Fog, ocean breezes, and a long growing season shape its character, allowing flavor to develop gradually while preserving acidity and aromatic detail. The vineyard is certified organic, reflecting the family’s commitment to the long-term health of the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah anchor the portfolio, alongside smaller plantings of Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne. Across these varieties, the shared aim is harmony: wines with intensity and depth, balanced by freshness and finesse. Peay’s story remains unusually personal—a first-generation family estate whose founders built their vineyard, learned its rhythms, and continue to translate that particular stretch of the California coast into wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The 2023 Pinot Noir West Sonoma Coast has alluring aromas of cranberry, rooibos tea, mossy bark, mushrooms and bitters. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated, crunchy fruit and well-integrated new oak spice. It’s structured by grainy tannins and juicy acidity and has a long, flavorful finish.\" - 92 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Soft and delicate aromas of wild raspberries, cinnamon bark, pine needles, pencil shavings and potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins and nervy acidity. Such great depth and structure, capturing the freshness and coolness of the vineyard.\" - 94 Points, James Suckling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\"A bright ruby color, the 2023 Pinot Noir West Sonoma Coast is perfumed and expressive on the nose, with violets, wild raspberries, and hints of blue flowers. Medium-bodied, it has fine tannins and a finessed feel without lacking for depth or length. It’s a stellar vintage of this wine that I can’t recommend enough, with snappy, refreshing energy and a salty accent that enhances the fruit beautifully.\" - 94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Peay Vineyards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e California\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation: \u003c\/strong\u003eWest\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eSonoma Coast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maverick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67903080857736,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/2239\/7832\/files\/Universal-Red-Wine-Photo_48bb1d22-5435-4b6a-bdde-d4c1aac50446.png?v=1794331863","url":"https:\/\/vinonueva.com\/products\/peay-vineyards-pinot-noir-sonoma-coast-2023","provider":"VinoNueva Fine \u0026 Rare Wine Miami","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
