Elegant and Minerally. Great acidity with a spicy foundation of tobacco and some vanilla. Bright red fruit of the raspberry kind. — 3 years ago
This bish has no right being as banging as it is for the price point (<$20). Chewy though still kinda tight on the tannins, but the foundation is all there—plum berry and currant, a streak of herbal goodness on some earthy-ass dry soil dusted with like cocoa and oak. — 5 years ago
The 2023 Rosato is incredibly energetic like a horse waiting to bolt out of the starting gate. Ripe pineapple, pear and spiced citrus provide a foundation upon which the sparkling, lively acidity flutters. The balance here is admirable and nicely rounded and displays a lovely inner sweetness. This bottle could empty quickly. (Billy Norris, Vinous, May 2024)

2019 Vintage…nice expression of the better Chateauneuf Du Pape wines with 4 grapes as foundation. Fine balance, big flavor, dark berries almost elegant…allow to breath a bit after opening… — 3 years ago
Nose is multidimensional which consistently reveals the tasting profile. Rich, creamy foundation with Meyer lemon, pineapple, and apricot poking through. Structurally matches with nice acid balancing the richness. This is rounder and softer than I expected for a young Peay. Drinking very well already. — 5 years ago
This is a nice “easy-to-drink” wine! Soft enough for almost any pallet yet pairs with so many things: burgers, red meat, cheese, fruit, or just sip! — 3 years ago
This has more mineral dimension than the others. Lacks a little bit of tension in the foundation. — 3 years ago
Fine spirit, balanced acidity and a strong earthy sidenote in a fruity foundation — 5 years ago

Surprise me of having a more herbal and vegetable foundation than the light flowery fruity that you kind of expect from this area, but it worked very well. That herbal note faded after the first blush, and it developed some delicate strawberry and hibiscus and floral notes. Good structure, never felt flabby, but after a day or two of being open, develop some cherry flavors, which just weren’t my favorite, but weren’t bad. Delicious wine.  — 9 months ago
