Peay Vineyards, La Bruma Estate Syrah, Sonoma County, Sonoma

The Peay’s Estate Vineyard is another of the very cool sites for Syrah in Sonoma County. Bursting with meaty red and black fruit, anise, liquorice and juniper, this is a brooding wine that will appeal to fans of the northern Rhône. Firm-structured tannins demand either time in the cellar, or decanting.
