Peake Ranch John Sebastiano Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020

John Sebastiano Vineyard Pinot Noir 202096JD/95WE/93VMPeake Ranch From a windy site of the eastern slope of the Sta. Rita Hills, we have produced a Pinot Noir that embodies power, structure and concentration at it’s core. Vibrant magenta in color, with a fruit forward intensity that embodies the essence of fresh red plum, tomato leaf, bing cherry and vanilla. Tannin dominant with a solid backbone of beautifully balanced acidity throughout the palate. A few years of cellaring will reward ten-fold those with patience. OAK REGIME: 100% French Oak, 27% New Oak CLONE: Swan, 667 VINEYARDS: 100% John Sebastiano Vineyard Our Tasting Notes: The 2020 John Sebastiano Pinot Noir is an outstanding Pinot Noir with red cherries, red raspberry, cherry cola, subtle baking spices, polished and integrated oak, fresh and good mouthfeel. Very aromatic, the nose rises from the glass easily. The palate is med to med+ with very good persistence and length in the long finish. Tiny production. 96 pts Jeb
