Ancient Peaks - Renegade Red Blend 2020

Ancient Peaks Description
The 2020 Renegade presents heady aromas of dark fruits, blackberry cobbler, toasty oak, and allspice. The palate unfolds with dense, mouth-filling flavors of fresh wild berry, boysenberry, and blueberry, expanding into essences of roast coffee, peppery spice, woodsmoke, and savory game. Gravelly tannins bring length and structure to a robust, juicy finish.

Blend: 67% Syrah, 27% Petit Verdot, 6% Malbec

Antonio Galloni: 90 Points
The 2020 Renegade lifts from the glass with a smoky mix of blackberries, sage and wet stone. This is energetic with tart wild berry fruits and mineral tones accelerated by brisk acidity. While I'd prefer more depth, this impresses with its energy, tapering off lightly tannic. Wild strawberry hints slowly fade. The Renegade is a blend of 67% Syrah, 27% Petit Verdot and 6% Malbec.
