Peake Ranch John Sebastiano Pinot Noir 2018

From a vineyard on the other side of the Sta. Rita Hills from Peake Ranch, the 2018 Pinot Noir John Sebastiano Vineyard has a slightly more vibrant style in its black raspberry, violets, Bing cherry, and sappy flower aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, with beautiful purity and elegant, it’s another terrific wine from this up-and-coming estate that warrants attention. Score – 95. (Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com, Aug. 4, 2020)
