Clos Pepe Estate

Pinot Noir Vigneron Select 2014

9.2

I was thrilled that my last bottle of Clos Pepe was excellent. I opened and tasted, it seemed pretty good so I did not decant but put in an aerator. At dinner it had a great nose of cedar, black cherries, cola and spice. The taste was dark plums and other dark fruits. The finish was long and very smooth. I was going to save a bit to see how it would have been the next day but drank it all but did notice the finish being not as smooth at the end. Happy I did not decant thinking now I may have missed the best part.
A lot of history will Clos Pepe and a odd connection with Paterson, NJ that started it all. I’ve never been disappointed with their PN’s and some of their oddities including Grappa. — 9 days ago

Bordeaux blanc style by way of the Columbia Valley. Really compelling at the price point; the contrast between the crisp and tart green and yellow Sauvignon blanc fruit and flint against the roundness and richness of the Semillon maintain a lot of interest and should age well — 6 months ago
