Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with 10% Merlot, 5% Petite Sirah and 2% Cabernet Franc, was matured for 18 months in 30% new French and American oak. It is restrained and pretty with bright, transparent scents of red cherries and currants, dried herbs and tobacco leaves. The medium-bodied palate is silty and seamless with appealing wafts of resinous herbs lingering on the lifted finish.

• James Suckling: A pretty deep cabernet sauvignon that shows some nice olives, currant leaves, dark cherries, fennel and raw spices. This is juicy and tight on the full-bodied palate, showing nicely grained tannins and a flavorful finish.

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.
