Peake Ranch Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills 2021

“Ripe black cherries, fresh cut roses, wild strawberries, and spicy notes all emerge from the 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills, another silky, seamless, impressive Pinot Noir from this team. It's a brilliant value in Pinot Noir that would whomp many a Premier Cru Burgundy.”

“Bold with red fruit flavor and sweeter baking spice notes that are playfully sophisticated. Red cherry, pomegranate and a dash of sweet clove on the front palate. While the wine hints at further development for complexity in non-fruit characteristics over time, the Peake Ranch Estate Pinot Noir gives a good picture of the winery's ‘house style,’ enjoyable in its youth and brimming with playful primary red fruit and mature spice.”

“The 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills is bursting with aromas of pomegranate, cranberry, blood orange, potpourri and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is silky and perfumed with irresistible juiciness and a long, flavorful finish. It's dangerously easy to drink without sacrificing nuance and spicy detail.”
