Note di degustazione
From 11-year-old vines, the 2020 Pinot Noir Victor Francis Peake Ranch Vineyard has a pale ruby color, and 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! This was matured for 16 months in 75% new French oak and 188 cases were made.

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. An incredibly complete, balanced, seamless Pinot Noir, it's going to drink spectacularly well for a solid 10-12 years.
The 2020 Pinot Noir Peake Ranch Vineyard Victor Francis is one the of the lighter wines in this range. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, spice and mint all grace this racy, layered Pinot. The Victor Francis is attractive, but it just doesn't have the breadth or resonance that are such Paul Lato signatures.
