This bright and energetic Chardonnay is everything we love about the Central Coast. The fresh notes of lemon zest, jasmine, apricot, freshly-fluffed cotton, and chamomile create grace within the glass. Pale, yellow stone in color and elegantly focused. Acid remains a dominant component of its structure, which makes this an ideal companion for a wide variety of dishes.

Sierra Madre Vineyard is situated on a sandy, south-facing slope, and produces a wine that is concentrated, decadent and complex. Caramel, sea salt and nutmeg aromatics are balanced by ripe stone fruits, granny smith apples and honeydew. The wine’s flamboyant attributes of richness and lusciousness are balanced by an acidic tension culminating with a long, velvety-textured finish.

The inaugural release of Peake Ranch Vineyard Chardonnay demonstrates serious potential, as it boasts both depth and remarkable freshness. Fruit forward by nature with hints of citrus, green papaya and pineapple skins, paired with a complementary undertone of minerality. An element of opulence is expressed with aromatics of toasted almonds, butterscotch and vanilla bean. Bright acid shines through a silky texture on the palate.

A compelling example of what can be achieved with Pinot Noir from Santa Rita Hills, this wine captures the natural balance and complexity of this special appellation. The aromas blend bright cherries and blueberries with a subtle and distinguished earthiness expressed as dried oregano, white pepper and black tea. An engaging, seductive texture is supported with a backbone of French oak and finely- grained tannins.

From a windy site of the eastern slope of the Santa Rita Hills, we have produced a Pinot Noir that embodies power, structure and concentration at it’s core. Intensely fruit forward with predominantly blueberry and black cherry notes. Graham cracker, fresh cut herbs, rose and toffee hints are also discernible. The fruit lingers into the strong palate, finishing beautifully with soft oak tannin. Winemaker Paul Lato has once again crafted a classically-styled Pinot Noir from John Sebastiano Vineyard, whose stately fruit provides lively, delicious early enjoyment. Those of you with patience, however, will find it will reveal additional complexities with a few years of cellaring.

Like the rolling hills of Santa Rosa Road, where our namesake vineyard is situated, this wine undulates to express unique aromatics and flavors, given the time. Beginning with darker notes of umami, moss and cedar, this complex wine then reveals a fruitier side, with notes of tart cherry and pomegranate. Bright acid and minerality follow, and a surprisingly smooth dose of tannin finishes off this beautiful wine. A striking representation of how multi-faceted and vineyard-driven Pinot Noir can be, especially with its unique blend of heritage and new age clones.

An homage to Daisy, our beloved winery dog. Daisy is a huge part of the family, as well as the entire Peake Ranch team. As for the name, Bellis means Bella in Latin, with Noir representing the red, dark qualities of this wine. Bellis Noir is a blend that combines the brightness of Grenache and brooding aspect of Syrah, resulting in a wine showing intricate fruit notes of acai and blue fruits. The cool climate contributes to an herbal tone, with fennel, dill and peppermint surfacing on the palate. An ample, round and solid tannic core provides for a long, satisfying finish.

Liveliness takes center stage in this rosehued wine with notes of fig, jasmine, red currant, and potpourri. This attractive Grenache clearly expresses the femininity of the variety, with bright acidity wedded to a firm tannic structure and soft oak influence. Although uncommon in this region, Grenache thrives in the cool climate of the Santa Rita Hills.

Deep, dark magenta hued in color. The aromatics are sophisticated with notes of black cherry, cocoa powder, peppered cured meats, leather, and tobacco leaf. Brooding yet elegant, the lush tannins are balanced with ample acidity. Co- fermented with 5% Viognier and aged exclusively in neutral French oak, this Syrah expresses the full potential this variety is capable of achieving in the cool climate of the Santa Rita Hills appellation.
