Peay Vineyards 'Scallop Shelf' Estate Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2022

The Scallop Shelf blend is more perfumed than Ama with slightly tarter cherry aromas mixing with sandalwood and tea qualities on a beguiling nose that evolves with time in the glass. The wine is translucent. A prologue indicating that what follows is a wine of elegance, lift and grace not heavy, flabby, richness. The texture on the palate is smooth with medium weight. The red fruit flavors mix with mineral and forest floor aromas that linger on a salivating finish with bright acidity that is present but not aggressive. This is quintessential Scallop Shelf Pinot Noir and we look forward to seeing it evolve with time.
