I loved this more in SB. Did I have rose-colored glasses, or was it because I left this out in a 90 degree car for a day. We’ll never know!
This did take a turn for the better after 30 mins. Rich, medium bodied, yum yum. — a day ago

Lovely dark gold color. Butter, camomile, and many other components in a very complex nose. Rich and complex on the palate that is definitely high quality. Long finish. Love this wine! — 11 days ago

Just a half bottle test.. way way too early. Decanted and it needed a solid hour before it unfolded at all. Great structure lurking but this experience was impaired by immaturity. — 2 days ago

2007 vintage.
Black cherry, leather, black tea, plum and mushroom.
Tannins are well developed and acidity is still crisp on the finish.
Beautiful with Wagyu beef. — a day ago

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. — 19 days ago
