Paul Lato Peake Ranch Pinot Noir Vintor Francis 2020

The 2019 Pinot Noir Victor Francis Peake Ranch Vineyard is classic Sta. Rita Hills with its savory, salty, spicy, and even meaty aromas and flavors, which turn more floral and exotic with time in the glass. It shows some olive and brine as well, yet its core of ripe red and black fruits is always present, and it’s textured, medium to full-bodied, flawlessly balanced, and lengthy on the palate. 95 points rated by Jeb Dunnuck
