Winemaker Notes

Polish born sommelier, Paul Lato, got his start with an informal internship with Jim Clendened of Au Bon Climat which turned into an obsession with California s Central Coast. Then, as he puts it, Robert Parker, by a stroke of luck, tasted my 2002 vintage about a year and a half into its making. The wine was bottled, but I had neither a label nor a name for my winery. After tasting both pinot and syrah, Parker looked at me and said, You have a true talent. Hurry up with those names, I want to be the first one to write about you. The rest is history.

Critical Acclaim

97pts Jeb Dunnuck

Another Sta. Rita Hills release (I think this is the first vintage for this cuvée), the 2018 Victor Francis Peake Ranch Vineyard has a pure, nicely concentrated, full-bodied style with good complexity in its spiced cherry and blackberry fruits, chocolate, leafy herbs, and forest floor aromas and flavors. I love the overall richness and texture here, and it s one of the more meaty, powerful wines in the lineup.

This is a new wine from Paul Lato, named after his son. Medium ruby-purple, the 2018 Pinot Noir Victor Francis Peake Ranch Vineyard is delicately styled with aromas of rosewater, saline, lavender, crushed raspberries and strawberries, with an undercurrent of fragrant earth. Medium-bodied, it s concentrated, broody and firm with seamless freshness and a long, perfumed finish. This has what it needs to age well in bottle, and I d give it another two or three years in the cellar.
