This CPE’s Signature bottling. My second to last bottle of CPE. I believe this 2014 the last vintage they produced. I gave it a high rating based on more of my experience with the winery than the wine. The wine was very light in color with no brickage. The nose and taste were very light as well but there was some light (Cranberry) fruit notes and some cedar as well. The taste was about the same and the finish was okay. Nothing wrong at all just very light and past its prime. Think I’ll be drinking that last bottle I have on NYE, no reason to keep it any longer.

On another note; I so much appreciate CPE getting some of these wines to me last century when it may have be illegal to do so but Paterson, NJ and other things took precedence over the law of the day. — 11 days ago

Had this many years ago. It has gotten better. Very appealing. Ripe fruits, citrus, mediterranean spices and a nice slightly oily texture. — 4 months ago

Wes Hagen, 20 year veteran wine maker at Clos Pepe Vineyard, joined our group and gave us a master class in Santa Barbara pinot noir. We tried 11 PNs from 2004-2010, made by Loring, AP Vin, Sandler, Siduri, and Brewer-Clifton. This AP Vin was my #2 although the group rates it closer to the middle of the pack. No longer producing unfortunately… — 9 months ago
