Winemaker Notes

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon delivers vivid aromas of violet, boysenberry and black currant with trailing hints of tobacco. The texture is deep and seamless, cascading across the palate with dense flavors of blueberry, cherry and blackberry. Suggestions of black olive, vanilla, and mint elevate the experience, which concludes with a remarkable integration of smooth, sleek tannins.

Professional Ratings

  • 92

    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.

    COMMENTARY: The 2019 Ancient Peaks Santa Margarita Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is an outstanding red wine value from California's Central Valley. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows up with pleasing aromas and flavors of sandalwood, ripe fruit, and oak. Serve it with slow-roasted short ribs. (Tasted: July 18, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

    Approachable fruit aromas of black currant, cranberry, baking spice and sandalwood show on the nose of this reliable bottling. The palate combines the light red and darker black fruits as well as anise and oregano to amplify the herb factor.

    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.

Ancient Peaks, California
Ancient Peaks Winery Video

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.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
