A.P. Vin
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… — 2 years ago

Kistler
Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2018
Didn’t know Kistler was in the Pinot business until this showed up from WB…and while a very good one, not up to Kistler’s level in Chardonnay…very nicely fruit forward, but a little too sparkly at the front and a little too wooden at the back. Solid but not exceptional….falls short of Loring & Testarrossa — 2 years ago
