Tasting notes
The 2013 Pinot Noir Estate Ama is striking. Sweet red cherry, rose petals, mint and wild flowers open up in a gracious, mid-weight wine endowed with striking aromatic and flavor purity. Mid-weight and translucent, the 2013 will drink well for the next decade. Attractive blood orange and spice notes add an exotic element on the finish. Over the last year, the Ama has acquired a dimension of finesse that was not evident when I tasted it a year ago.

A deceptively mid-weight Pinot, the 2013 Pinot Noir Estate Ama possesses notable underlying tension and energy to support its boisterous reddish-hued fruits. Hints of orange peel and cranberry add an exotic upper register. Peay's cool, coastal vineyard confers restraint, but there is plenty of resonance in the glass. This is the raciest and most up-front of the Peay Pinots.
