Peake Ranch 2019 Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills
The first Pinot Noir to be released is our signature appellation wine. This wine is a composite of both our Sta. Rita Hills AVA vineyards, Peake Ranch and John Sebastiano. The combination of these diverse vineyards, seven different clonal varieties, a splash of stem inclusion, and the cool nature of the vintage work together to create a wine that speaks to the area. There is a beautiful, charming bouquet that encapsulates the ripeness we get with our California sun but remains light and elegant on the palate with very polished and silky tannins.

"Light on its feet, this appellation blend begins with aromas of pine forest and bay leaf alongside the pomegranate reduction sauce. It's layered on the palate, where red cherry and strawberry share space with tarragon and a long-lingering acidity."
