Ancient Peaks Renegade Red 2021
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.
Winemaker Notes: The 2021 Renegade presents complex aromas of violets, blue fruits and pomegranate with notes of graphite, cinnamon and toasted oak. The palate is rich and racy with flavors of cherry, currant, raspberry, cranberry and smoked meat. Trailing accents of cedar, juniper, earth and white pepper add intrigue to a lively, chewy finish.
The vibrant and multifaceted character of the 2021 Renegade pairs well with richly textured fare, including beef stew, smoked game, grilled lamb chops and vegetable lasagna.
The 2021 Renegade wafts up for the glass with a sweetly seductive blend of wild blueberries, violet flowers and crushed stones. It’s sleek and racy in style with crisp wild berry fruits and tactile mineral tones that swirl under an air of lavender. It finishes with a reverberation of tension, leaving a tinge of cocoa and licorice to slowly fade. The Renegade is a blend of 83% Syrah, 14% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec.
