2007 Peay Vineyards Syrah "La Bruma"

La Bruma ('the mist or fog') pays tribute to the role fog plays in producing our unique microclimate. The 2007 La Bruma has the classic cool climate characteristics found in our Syrah and is already drinking quite well. The style is more similar to the 2002 and 2005 vintages showing finesse over power. The nose opens with aromas of wet stone lifted by violet, boysenberry and a touch of white pepper. The aromas are not fruity but instead are savory with notes of tarragon, rare steak and cloves supporting the graphite and berry notes. The acidity is superb creating a focused and persistent finish. If you open a bottle now, do not decant but instead watch it develop in the glass. We recommend holding the 2007 La Bruma for 3+ years for maximum pleasure. 550 cases produced. - winery
