Founded in 1996 by brothers Nick and Andy Peay, this Far West Sonoma Coast producer sits just four miles from the Pacific, on a 53-acre hilltop vineyard anchored in ancient marine soils teeming with scallop and nautilus fossils. The brothers' philosophy is singular: wines transparent to site—wines that could only come from this place. Certified organic farmers, they believe the vineyard should speak above all else.

This 2014 Ama Estate Pinot Noir (the name means 'the land' in Kashaya) captures that philosophy. Using four clones—focused on two—planted in 2001 and 2002, Ama finds its own voice between Peay's Pomarium (muscular) and Scallop Shelf (intellectual) expressions. The 2014 vintage was a triumph for Pinot Noir—a drought year that delivered ripe, concentrated fruit with surprising liveliness and acidity. At 12 years old, this wine shows mid-palate character and elegance, drinking well now but capable of further evolution. The marine mineral core—a signature of these ancient soils—threads through the wine, anchoring the red-fruit character in place. Pair with roasted duck or herb-crusted lamb; the wine's structure and fruit intensity reward substantial dishes.

"Peay's 2014 Pinot Noir Estate Ama comes across as bold, ripe and intensely fruity. Sweet red cherry, hard candy cranberry, mint and spice notes are all pushed forward. The classic mid-weight Peay structure comes through, but, even so, this is an especially racy, flamboyant style. Time in the glass helps the wine come together nicely." -Antonio Galloni
