Winemaker Notes

In 2019, Peake Ranch produced a radiant Chardonnay with lovely cool-climate verve and tension. Layers of ripe peach, Granny Smith apple and summer melon dance across the palate, supported by sleek acidity and a subtle French oak-inspired sweetness that lingers on the finish.

Production

On the Central Coast, cooler summer temperatures with no major heat events ensured a long growing season and abundant hangtime, leading to perfect ripeness and flavor development in the grapes. Lower-than-average yields and smaller berries resulted in incredibly rich and concentrated wines, with our Central Coast reds possessing amazing color, bright acids and deep, lush flavors, and our whites displaying beautiful brightness and sophisticated citrus and stone fruit layers.
