In the cool coastal hills of the Sonoma Coast, Peay Vineyards crafts wines that push the boundaries of what Syrah can achieve in this unique terroir. The 'Les Titans - Estate' 2020 is a prime example of this vision—intense, layered, and beautifully structured. It showcases the vineyard’s ability to express both power and finesse in a single bottle.

The 2020 vintage opens with bold aromas of dark fruits—blackberries, plums, and a touch of cassis—intertwined with savory notes of black pepper, smoked meat, and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with finely grained tannins that provide a solid structure while still maintaining a sense of elegance. The acidity is lively, keeping the wine fresh and balanced, while the finish is long, with lingering spices, dark fruit, and a touch of mineral dryness.

This Syrah is a fantastic match for grilled meats, especially lamb or steak, as well as hearty stews and rich cheeses. Peay Vineyards’ 'Les Titans' 2020 is a wine that will continue to evolve over the next decade, showcasing the full potential of Sonoma Coast Syrah. A truly remarkable expression of this cool-climate region, it’s a wine for those who appreciate complexity, depth, and a long aging potential.

The wind-whipped Sonoma Coast is not a particularly hospitable location for growing wine grapes. Temperatures can fluctuate wildly, there is the ever-present threat of mold, due to the humidity, and the sandy soils do not encourage vines to flourish. Yet since 2002, the team behind Peay Vineyards—Nick and Andy Peay, along with winemaker Vanessa Wong—have endeavored to create wines of purity and finesse in this very environment.

But as all three will tell you the AVA Sonoma Coast is huge, and applies to vast areas of Sonoma County that do not share the extremes that are found right near the coast where the cold, deep Pacific ocean and resulting inversion layer contribute to a truly unique micro-climate. In response The Peay's and their nearby neighbors are pushing for a new AVA called "West Sonoma Coast".

It is in this newly proposed AVA that some of the most interesting and terroir specific wines are being made. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay dominate, as they both benefit from the long growing season and temperature fluctuations. But the Peays have also found Syrah to be very well suited to their locale as well . . . which is good since Vanessa, Nick and Andy all enjoy the traditional Northern Rhone wines as much as Burgundy.

The wines at Peay Vineyards are benchmark examples of the excellence that can come from California. They are elegant, unique and intense, thanks in part to the ancient marine soils on which they are grown. The Peays spend as much time as possible working amongst the vines. Because they own (and for Nick and Vanessa live on) the entire property they have become intimately familiar with each vineyard's distinct characteristics and are able to make wines that showcase their special terroir.

"The 2020 Estate Syrah Les Titans has a medium ruby-purple color and gregarious aromas of cassis, menthol and bitter chocolate plus wafts of blueberry. The full-bodied palate has a dense core of fruit with a light, charry woodsmoke-like character, slightly chewy tannins and a gently rustic finish." -Robert Parker
