2021 Peake Ranch ‘Bellis Noir’ Red Blend Santa Rita Hills

VIN94 The 2021 Red Blend Bellis Noir, the estates Rhône blend, of Grenache, Syrah and Pinot Noir is rich, deep and seductive. Dark cherry, plum, blood orange, mint and sweet spice all open in the glass, but it is the wines textural depth I admire most. This is beautifully done.
JD93 The 2021 Bellis Noir checks in as 64% Syrah and 36% Grenache. Its ruby/purple hue is followed by a great nose of perfumed red and black cherries, licorice, peppery herbs, and leather. It’s medium to full-bodied, has a seamless mouthfeel, and ripe tannins. Drink bottles over the coming 7-8 years or so.
