The wine is delightful now, but will really kick butt if left in a dark, cool place for another half decade or so. The winemaker describes this wine as having less pepper than the 2005, which I find surprising, since the pepper notes are very distinctive, reminding me of the peppery Syrah’s from Provence but without the rough-hewn nature of those brawny wines.
Look for floral notes sitting atop pie spices and warm, dusty blackberries. A bit of Beef Jerky and smoked ham come through on the palate, and the dark fruit finish lasts for several minutes. This is a wine you’ll enjoy getting to know.

This wine is named La Bruma (The Fog) after the frequent morning mists that cover the Pacific Coast where the Peay's vines call home.
