The 2020 Pinot Noir Victor Francis Peake Ranch Vineyard comes from the eastern, warmer side of the appellation and was destemmed and brought up in 75% new French oak. It has plenty of ripe cherry and framboise-like fruit as well as medium to full body, notes of dried herbs, flowers, and loamy earth, silky tannins, terrific overall balance, and one heck of a great finish.

...its aromatics segue from cranberry and black raspberry to tones of licorice, flint, mossy bark, bergamot and mushroom powder. The medium-bodied palate is equally dynamic, its detailed flavor layers continually blossoming as it glides through the mouth. It has a powerful yet supple frame, seamless freshness and a tremendously long finish. Wow! - WA
