Peay Description
Savoy Vineyard in the Anderson Valley of Mendocino County is one of California’s most highly regarded, classic Pinot noir vineyards. When we determined it would be wise to cover our risk a little bit and source fruit from outside our extreme coastal vineyard, there were only a few locations we would even consider. Savoy topped the list.
The 44-acre vineyard was planted by Richard Savoy in 1991 and the current owners, FEL, have re-planted and continue to invest in the quality of the vineyard. We are quite pleased to make a Savoy under our Peay label and the wine nicely complements our line-up of estate wines having a touch more fruit forwardness and is more approachable in its youth. Further, the Peay Savoy is a little different than other expressions of Savoy as there is often a floral component in the wine and you will recognize Vanessa’s steady, focused hand on the rudder of the wine. A delicious expression of California Pinot noir.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
This wine is opulent, with aromas of raspberry, black plum, cedar, dried florals and star anise on the nose. The flavors on the palate are strawberry-pomegranate compote, black currant confiture and chicory, interwoven with Bing cherry, sea salt, dried cinnamon, porcini mushroom and a dry, supple finish. Hold or drink until 2035. Pair with grilled lamb shank. -T,P.
