Peake Ranch
Peake Ranch sits in Sta. Rita Hills, the cool-climate pocket of Santa Barbara County where Pacific winds shape the Central Coast's finest expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The winery's Vineyard Pinot Noir—a wine rated 93.5 by prestige critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff—captures the region's signature elegance: red fruit precision balanced against structural tension. The Sierra Madre Vineyard Chardonnay (92.0) reflects the same terroir discipline, while a Grenache (93.2) signals the winery's range across the Mediterranean varieties that thrive in this maritime climate. These are wines shaped by place: the cool nights and morning fog that define Sta. Rita Hills, the limestone soils, the long growing season. Peake Ranch works within the region's natural constraints, letting vintage and vineyard speak.
