TASTING NOTE
The 2024 Pomarium has grace, complexity, and power. In its youth, the Pomarium cuvée relied more on fruit presence for appeal, which is common among young vine Pinot Noir. With time, the more nuanced floral and tea aromas have elevated the complexity of the wine and softened the muscular notes. I often speak of plum skin, jasmine tea, and even a light sandalwood hippie aroma when describing this wine. All of that remains true in the 2024. With 26 years of vine age, however, there is just more flavor, depth, and persistence with less bombast. I’d like to think that will be the case with all of us as we age? I’m not so sure that’s true but one can hope. This is a wine that is very enjoyable right now but absolutely will be one to age and drink over a lifetime. -Winemaker's Notes
97pts - James Suckling
"A structured, flavorful wine with black and red berry skins and deep umami undertones of kombu and bergamot tea. A very long finish. Quite profound. Medium-bodied. Drink or hold."
95pts - Wine Advocate
"The 2024 Estate Pinot Noir Pomarium has dramatically unfurling scents of raspberry, blueberry, lavender, forest floor and iron. The medium-bodied palate is powerfully styled with layered, perfumed flavors structured by persistent, grainy tannins. It’s balanced by bright acidity and has a long finish with a flourish of spicy accents."
94pts - Vinous
"The 2024 Pinot Noir Estate Pomarium is the most potent and brooding of the Peay Pinots, its mid-weight structure notwithstanding. Dark fruit, gravel, incense, licorice and dried herbs add to an impression of somber gravitas. The 2024 is best left alone for at least another few years, although it may very well take longer than that to be at its most expressive. There's a lot of wine here—that much is evident."
