This is a full bodied wine, rich and full of roasted blueberries and tart raspberries with some dry earthy tannins on the finish. This wine will definitely age very well.
2020 was Dianna Novy's first vintage to work with the Peake Ranch Vineyard. The smoke from the fires in 2020 meant she couldn't harvest from any of the vineyards in Sonoma County. She went to the Sta. Rita Hills AVA to find grapes because there was no smoke in this part of California in 2020.

"A light shade of ruby in the glass, this single-vineyard expression pops on the nose with fresh Bing cherry, strawberry, curry leaf and carnation aromas. The palate is very zesty as well, with a taut texture that presents flavors of smashed currant, melon rind, crunchy sage and wild thyme. - MATT KETTMANN"

"Lithe and well-structured, with concentrated red currant and cherry tart flavors backed by rich acidity and tannins. Shows toasty richness in the midpalate, with a finish that's flush with underbrush accents. Drink now through 2024. 250 cases made. - Kim Marcus"
