From the winery:
This wine is an homage to Daisy, our beloved winery dog. Daisy is a huge part of our family, as well as the entire Peake Ranch team. As for the name, Bellis (Bella in Latin) with Noir, representing the red, dark qualities of this wine, Bellis Noir is a blend that combines the brightness of Grenache with the brooding aspect of Syrah. Blueberry and ripe strawberries on the nose prepare the palate for a delightful expression of bold tannins. Intricate notes of cocoa powder and almond surface on the palate and carry to a signature silky finish.
93 points from Vinous:
The 2020 Red Blend Bellis Noir is one of the highlights in the range. The blend of 52% Grenache, 44% Syrah and 4% Pinot Noir marries fruit intensity with energy in style. There's terrific depth to the red/purplish fruit. I would plan on cellaring the 2020 for another 6-12 months to see if the aromatics open. For now, the 2020 is quite primary and energetic, with red Grenache fruit driving the blend this year.
