Peay Vineyards "Pomarium" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021

Jeb Dunnuck : 99 Points

(7/21/2023) The 2021 Pinot Noir Pomarium. is packed with notes of black cherry liqueur and kirsch, pure ripe fruit, a touch of sage, and sweet earth. It’s more grounded and muscular, with ripe, broad tannins, and has great depth as well as a grounded nature, with good fruit throughout. Drink over 2026-2046.

The Wine Independent : 96+ Points

(7/25/2023) The 2021 Peay Pomarium Estate Pinot Noir has a medium ruby-purple color. On the nose earthy notes of charcoal, tree bark, black truffles, and loam lead to a core of black raspberries, fresh blackberries, and wild blueberries, plus wafts of violets and cardamom. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house, delivering firm, very fine-grained tannins and compelling tension to support the muscular fruit, finishing long, with loads of mineral sparks. Drinking: 2024 - 2034.

Wine Advocate : 97 Points

(6/15/2023) The 2021 Estate Pinot Noir Pomarium is notable this vintage for its balance of concentrated fruit and vibrant freshness. Its broody scents of cranberry sauce, mushroom and conifer give way to licorice and Angostura bitters as it spends time in the glass. Its concentrated flavors defy its youthfully reluctant aromas, offering wave after wave of perfumed fruit. It has a fine, chalky frame and focused acidity that drives its long, layered finish. It drinks beautifully straight from the bottle, but it may have more to offer in another 3-5 years. Drink Date: 2025 - 2035.
