Website says 6 and it's not even 5, but they are closed & Sign on the door says closed till the 24th, but it's the 25th, still closed. Interesting business strategy. Hopefully can give an improved review someday.

I got there and saw a sign that said "Appointments Required" which almost turned me away but I decided to drive down the dirt road since the gates were open anyways. I arrived at the tasting room which was quite nice looking. After walking up to the counter the staffmember I talked to apologized for not having their private chef there but gave me the rundown of their offerings. The tasting price was unexpected but I guess I'm just used to how things were in the early 2000s when tastings in Sonoma were a lot more casual. I decided to just dive in and got two bottles to go. I think this place is more of a destination than I expected, which is cool, it was very much a nice spot to visit. I'll probably come back in the summer to get the full experience.

Came with high expectations and was not disappointed!…read more Made a last-minute request for a tasting at their Cloverdale location, and they made time for me that same day! I love supporting wineries run by female winemakers, and Peay's (pronounced "pay") winemaker is knocking it out of the park. Was given a private tour by Orion, as he kindly interrupted his lab work to give me the full download on Peay's history and evolution. They farm the grapes organically and have a large-scale fermentation operation that allows them to maximize the grape expression during the first fermentation without rushing to clear space for the later harvest. Their subterranean storage is compartmentalized into five, separately climate-controlled sections where the wines are stored for barrel aging. The amount of intentionality and control to each step of the process is what makes their wines so consistent and delicious! My absolute favorite wine of theirs is the 2018 Syrah (which is sadly out of stock)! I ended up purchasing their 2019 Savoy Pinot Noir and 2018 Les Titans. Anyone who enjoys West Sonoma AVA needs to give Peay a visit! Their cold climate Syrahs and Pinots bring an earthy minerality that I literally cannot stop drinking!

Just came from their release party today and I certainly enjoyed it! People are very nice, although…read moretheir regular staff are not very well informed about their wines. In general, they have EXCELLENT Syrah, but great pinot (great but not excellent). Their Syrah easily stand out and I consider it to be really top notch quality. Their Pinot Noir is indeed good and borderline great, other more exceptional Pinot Noir can be had at other wineries. I definitely like this place and I would recommend this to anyone.
