Peake Ranch Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2018 (750ML)

92 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2018 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills) is another impressive appellation-level wine in this range. Medium in body and delicate, with gorgeous aromatic presence, the 2018 hits all the right notes. A burst of rose petal, lavender and sweet red cherry fruit infuses the finish." 08/20

92 Points, Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast: "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." 08/20

94+ Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Moving to the Pinot Noirs, the 2018 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills is 100% Pinot Noir from the Peake Ranch and John Sebastiano vineyards and was all destemmed and aged 18 months in 40% new French oak. Tart Bing cherries, raspberries, forest floor, and sappy flower and violet notes all define this beauty. It has a clean, focused, yet concentrated style that will benefit from a year in bottle." 08/20
