Peake Ranch 2018 Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills
A compelling example of what can be achieved with Pinot Noir from Santa Rita Hills, this wine captures the natural balance and complexity of this special appellation. The aromas blend bright cherries and blueberries with a subtle and distinguished earthiness expressed as dried oregano, white pepper and black tea. An engaging, seductive texture is supported with a backbone of French oak and finely- grained tannins.

"Concentrated aromas of toasty oak, caramel and dark-plum sauce show on the nose of this intense appellation blend. The palate shows a crisper side, with black-raspberry and red-plum tones, layered in dried herbs and cardamom before finishing with a kiss of oak."
