Located on the eastern end of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA on Santa Rosa Road, Peake Ranch is a 105-acre parcel with 50 acres Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Grenache. The dynamic terrain requires the vines to be planted in a dizzying array of aspects and slopes to maximize the site’s character. Much of the property lies amidst a protective saddle creating a slightly warmer profile at this estate, tempering the trademark Pacific Ocean winds that define the Sta. Rita Hills.

This vintage of the Peake Ranch Pinot noir does not hold back. The aromatics are incredibly rich with notes of cranberry, anise, tobacco and juniper. Immediately present tannins make way for an ever-present acidity that drives home the wonderful flavors of cherry pie and oregano as they dance across the palate. The finish is bright and lingering, making this wine a great option to adorn any table.
