Winemaker Notes
Floral violet laden nose frames a core of bright blackberry and pomegranate fruit. White pepper and savory, herbal flavors add a bass note that is fully present on the palate with additional leather, iron, and braised meat aromas. The Cep Syrah is medium bodied with medium intensity, low alcohol, clean acidity and a medium to long finish.

Cep – meaning vine stock in French - is the second label for Peay Vineyards. With the emphasis on making wines that reveal the Peay Family vineyard's personality, and not some winemaker's magic toolbox, they felt this was an appropriate name. A cep is also a delectable mushroom that grows at the base of oaks in our forest and is commonly known as porcini or more formally as boletus edilus. While cepes are wonderful, this has nothing to do with the name.
Cep Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay are made from barrels of wine that do not make it into one of the Peay wines. All the blending for the Peay cuvees is done blind – without knowing the amount each potential wine will make to keep the finance guy honest – so they choose the wine that best expresses the cuvee and the vintage. After all the wines for the vintage are put together, Vanessa will decide they have X extra barrels, which become Cep. The resulting wines are delicious and at half the price of Peay, an incredible steal.
