Clos Pepe Vineyard Pinot Noir 2009

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… — 5 days ago

Clos Pepe Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

9.3

I love this oxidized white. It’s rare to drink chardonnay with this bottle age, and I like the notes of petrol that emerge. At $38, it’s a great value. — a month ago

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 1983

Oh such a lovely wine. 1983 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Recorked in 2023. Such a beautiful nose. Opened without decanting, but gave it 25-30 minutes. Palette still needs to open a bit. Enjoyed before it really opened with the Lumache (duck and goose with ricotta): delicious but still not open enough. Then ordered the prime rib and it really opened up after more than an hour open. Nose remained so pretty but the palate really got going. Tertiary flavors of leather, earth and spice, yet with a nice touch of red fruits (cherry). BYOB BTW. — 13 days ago

Flying Goat Cellars

Clos Pepe Vineyard Goat Bubbles Blanc de Noirs Pinot Noir 2016

At Flying Goat, the goal is to produce unpretentious, playful wines while retaining a serious quality focus and commitment to a purity of expression from single-vineyard sites such as the Solomon Hills Vineyard, Bien Nacido Vineyard, Rancho Santa Rosa, to name a few.

This intention is reinforced by everything from the whimsical labels (Flying Goat, Goat Bubbles, YNOT), to the critical acclaim Flying Goat Cellars has garnered for its impressive wines, to the impeccably balanced and delicious Pinot Noir and vintage, traditional method sparkling wines.

This 2016 blanc de noirs sparkler — made with Pinot Noir hailing from the Bien Nacido Vineyard — is medium gold in appearance, with a fine and creamy mousse, and fresh notes of just-ripe yellow apple, pear, white peach, lemon zest, citrus blossom, biscuit, toast, brioche, toasted almond, and marzipan. It has a lingering, elegant finish.

@Delectable Wine this is the blanc de noirs bien nacido vineyard 2016 vintage sparkling (Goat Bubbles, Flying Goat Cellars)
