Notes & Flavors
This wine is wound far tighter than last year's inaugural release; indeed, the nose is initially retiring and the aromatics slow to emerge. With air and a little warmth, notes of sweet flag and pungent celery seed come to the fore, supported by a hint of piney soil. The palate slowly unfurls to reveal waves of lanolin, white pepper, and a fleeting, juicy pungency. Precise acids guide the wine to a refreshing, cool finish.

Professional Press: The 2014 Peugh is resplendent with Meyer lemon, grilled pineapple, orange blossom, and a bracing mineraity. The palate is focus and well-balanced, offering layers of apple, pear, lemon zest, with hints of brioche. There is stunning depth and a clean, bright minerality. Enjoy this beauty over the next five years.
