Ancient Peaks Description

Winemaker Notes

The 2020 Pearl Cabernet Sauvignon is a blockbuster wine that shows the full potential of Cabernet Sauvignon grown at Margarita Vineyard. Aromas of ripe blackberry, vanilla and graphite show hints of black olive and earthy loam. A plush, mouthfilling texture delivers layered flavors of plum, cranberry, cherry and blueberry. Suggestions of toasted oak, caramel and cola bring added complexity to a firm, structured finish.

Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot

Professional Ratings

96 Tasting Panel

Aged 23 months in (100% new) French oak, this vintage showcases the best of Santa Margarita Ranch's cultivated blocks, planted in ancient seabed shale in Margarita Vineyard. Dressed in a top hat and tails, the sophisticated Cab (with 5% Petit Verdot) is a celebratory soirée for the senses: An elegant mouthfeel; round, supple tannins; and blackberry preserves polish the palate. Complex and balanced, with a long finish of black olive, dark chocolate, and black cherry.

93 Wine Enthusiast
Dark in the glass, this is a dense expression from the estate’s top blocks, offering aromas or elderberry, açaí and intense purple flowers on the nose. The palate is rich and ripe with candied violet, blueberry and elderflower flavors, all wrapped in tight tannins.
90 James Suckling
Dark cherries, incense, dark chocolate and undergrowth on the nose, following through to a full body with firm tannins. Rich and broad, with a chewy, chocolatey finish.
