2020 | Ancient Peaks Winery | Renegade Red Wine Margarita Vineyard

The 2020 Renegade presents heady aromas of dark fruits, blackberry cobbler, toasty oak, and allspice. The palate unfolds with dense, mouth-filling flavors of fresh wild berry, boysenberry, and blueberry, expanding into essences of roast coffee, peppery spice, woodsmoke, and savory game. Gravelly tannins bring length and structure to a robust, juicy finish.

Reviews:

• Wilfred Wong: The 2020 Ancient Peaks Renegade is a red blend crossing Rhone and Bordeaux grape varieties. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of black fruits, oak, and licorice. Pair its palate richness with an old-fashioned, slow-cooked beef stew.

Producer Information

We are a family-owned winery specializing in estate-grown wines from Margarita Vineyard, the southernmost vineyard in the Paso Robles appellation on California’s Central Coast. Just look at a map of Paso Robles wineries and at the very southern tip you will find our Vineyard. Here, amid the rugged Santa Lucia mountain range just 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean, Margarita Vineyard stands alone as the only vineyard in its vicinity, and thus the only vineyard to benefit from the extraordinary growing conditions of the area. Margarita Vineyard resides in the historic Santa Margarita Ranch, which was first planted to vines by Franciscan missionaries in 1774. Ancient Peaks and Margarita Vineyard are owned by three longtime local winegrowing families—the Filipponis, Rossis and Wittstroms—who are actively involved in the daily operations of the vineyard and winery. Ancient Peaks wines are crafted under the guidance of Mike Sinor, a local winemaking veteran and one of the highest-rated winemakers on the Central Coast. Ancient Peaks implements numerous sustainable viticultural practices to ensure natural quality in their wines while protecting the rich, native environment surrounding the Margarita Vineyard. Their practices have earned SIP (Sustainability in Practice) Certification for Margarita Vineyard, the leading standard for viticultural sustainability.
