Ruby colored liquid in my glass. Hints of cherry pie on the nose. Flavors of tart cherries, red plums and baking spices. Beautiful acidity. A very balanced wine. This is my last regular bottle of CP wine. I do have a VS Pinot which I will sit on for a while. Glad other wineries are making really good wines from the Clos Pepe vineyard. — 14 days ago

Man can’t live on Bordeaux alone. Time to head back to my comfort zone. Beautiful light garnet in the glass. Very translucent. Blue fruit, chocolate and rose petal hints. Elegant tastes of raspberries, blueberries, cassis and a little earthiness. A complex and fantastic expression of Russian River Pinot Noir. — 2 months ago

Beautiful garnet color in the glass. Subtle aromas of blue and red fruits with very slight hints of licorice. Elegant flavors of cassis, raspberries and some earthiness with a firm tannic backbone. Nicely integrated with a real sense of where this wine came from. The finish lingers with some oak and acidity coming thru with fruit. Bordeaux has not been my favorite in the past but I am trying to learn more about it. Cheers everyone! — 2 months ago

Beautiful straw color. Hints of fruit and oak on the nose. Elegant flavors of Meyer Lemon and peach with a slight hint of petrol and earthiness. Extremely well balanced with medium plus acidity. Held up nicely to Cuban pork chops with lime braised purple onions. Yummy! — 15 days ago

I don’t drink 25 year old wines very often but tonight I am trying this gem. As I decanted this wine (had a slight problem with cork I immediately began detecting a very nice hint of cinnamon and red fruit. Deep ruby with a brick meniscus around the edge. Juicy flavors of boysenberries, cranberries, and blueberries with a slight hint of bell pepper. The tannins were very refined with a very slight bit of grip on the the finish. Nice acidity. The finish seemed a little truncated, probably due to its age. All in in all a very nice wine. — 2 months ago

Dark ruby red color. Dark fruit, earthiness, and spice on the nose. Intense tastes of dried figs, licorice, and sweet tobacco with a dusty backbone. The acidity is perfect and finish is fantastic. Happy Valentines Day everyone! — 2 months ago

Beautiful garnet color. Elegant hints of dark fruit, leather and cedar on the nose. Nicely integrated tastes of currants, black plums and a hint of licorice. The acidity is spot on creating a mouthwatering wine. The tannins are still a little evident and the finish shows signs of graphite and a little bit of bell pepper. — a month ago

Trying another Bordeaux. I would call this an entry level wine but it has very nice qualities. Not a whole lot on the nose. Nice tastes of raspberry, strawberry and a little bit of a minty bite. This wine has a very light feeling in the mouth and has an interesting finish that reveals a little bit of the tannic structure. — 2 months ago

Ruby colored with floral and anise notes. Full bodied tastes of blue fruit, licorice and dark chocolate with hints of herbs and earth. Tannins are a little grippy but overall a very nice wine. — 2 months ago
