The Anderson Valley produces Pinot Noir “with deep fruit expression, earthiness and spiciness,” Peay says, and Savoy is “probably the best vineyard there.” The wine he makes from Savoy, he says, is more fruit-forward than his other wines, “a little softer and cherry-noted on the forepalate. But it also has good acidity and spice quality. It “captures California Pinot Noir without moving into that big monochromatic style.”
