Peake Ranch Description
The 2021 vintage of the Peake Ranch Vineyard Pinot noir has alluring aromas of dried flowers, dark cherry, pomegranate, and caramel. Vibrant acidity and raspberry flavors are immediately present. Abundant refined tannins create a pleasant mouthfeel that is luxurious and contains elevated fruit concentration.
Jeb Dunnuck: 96 Points
A darker, richer, slightly more serious wine, the Pommard-like 2021 Pinot Noir Peake Ranch Vineyard offers a great nose of red and black raspberries, flinty minerality, forest floor, and leather. These carry over to the palate, where the wine is medium to full-bodied and has good concentration, plenty of tannins, and outstanding length. It will be even better in a year or two.
Winemaker Wynne Sargeant had some big shoes to fill taking over the reins from Paul Lato, but she has unquestionably risen to the occasion and today is making some of the finest wines in the Central Coast. The estate is in the warmer, eastern side of the Sta. Rita Hills, and they produce a number of single vineyard Chardonnays as well as Pinot Noirs (from the Sta. Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley) and brilliant Rhône blends. The wines are superb across the board.
