Beautiful red, bright,with smoke, anise, white pepper, red berries, red cherries on the nose. It's a mid-weight Pinot, nice mouth weight, flavorful cherry, with some pepper spice, licorice, and a long, slightly bitter finish. I like the Peay's acidity a bit more than the Cep in comparison, but it's a great wine, and definitely a value. Sonoma Pinot is something I like quite a bit, a bit more American than the Oregon style in some ways. Between $25 and $30 depending on source.
