Clos Pepe Estate

Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2014

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.

Clos Pepe Estate

Pinot Noir Vigneron Select 2013

Clos Pepe seems almost like a family of sorts with Paterson, NJ, Allen Ginsberg and selling to me before it became legal to do so in NJ. They are no longer producing wine under their own label, retired. I still have a bunch of bottles left and if they all drink as good as this one I’ll be a happy guy. Just a complex wine all around, very enjoyable. — 4 years ago
