Needed some air time for a bit but it's drinking beautifully. Still a baby.

Beautiful, elegant, lighter sibling for Pomarium. Pairing with takeout Peay-king Duck from Great China to celebrate.

PnP at cellar temp. Striking lightness and clarity, even for a Pinot. Nose of bright cherries, sweet spices, wet stones and minerals, and something metallic underneath. Understated thus far. Palette, however, is rich and lively with well integrated acid that uplifts flavors reminiscent of the nose. Light structure but holding it all together. An hour open brings out great depth of fruit, 5 spice, and something savory I can’t identify. Simply beautiful. Time to re-up my Peay bottle stock.

Stewed black cherries with a hint of leather. Medium tannins. Developing nicely.
