Peay Vineyards - Pinot Noir Pomarium Estate 2022 (750ml)

Jeb Dunnuck 98 points
Youthful ruby with a hint of light magenta, on the nose, the 2022 Pinot Noir Pomarium offers bright pomegranate lift, fresh pine needles, minty herbs, dried flowers, and a hint of licorice. It reveals vibrant tension and deeper concentration on the palate, with a long, earthy finish and notes of tea leaf. Its ripe tannins have a chiseled but elegant feel, and it’s fantastically sculpted.

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate Pomarium is fabulous. Broad, ample and resonant, the Pomarium shows the more extroverted side of the year. Black fruit, mocha, chocolate, incense, leather and dark spice soar out of the glass. This potent, brooding Pinot Noir packs a tremendous punch. It's the most extroverted Pinot in the Peay range and is absolutely fantastic in this tasting."

"Pomarium is Latin for apple orchard. The Peay estate is a 140-year-old apple orchard on the far West Sonoma Coast. The 2022 vintage of Pomarium is showy with more blue fruit than the 2021. It is a touch fleshier and full, with intense black fruits and a deep, turned-earth character. The Labor Day heat created a bit more fruit intensity in the skins, and it is a pure expression of the year."
