Pepe Galante

Galante Vineyards

Blackjack Pasture Cabernet Sauvignon 1994

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Complex nose of red and black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, dark coffee, light mildew, spices, tobacco leaf and light forest floor.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, licorice and black pepper.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 32 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Carmel Valley is still drinking beautifully, but not at its peak anymore.

Still showing enough fruits for the acidity, tangy and interesting. Complex and very entertaining.

It's always a great experience to drink these kind of aged wines.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from a Single Vineyard. Unfiltered and unfined.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$375.

The Ojai Vineyard

Clos Pepe Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

Delightful. Great, light, flavorful Pinot - drinking really well. Paired w/ tasty toasted goat cheese crostini + light spinach salad w/ balsamic/mustard. I think Ojai pinots are a treat & great value. — 5 years ago

Tio Pepe 'Fino En Rama' Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino

Very good quality with a solid expression of its provenance and a good length. Bruised apples, yeast, bread, iodine and a dry chalkiness puts this right where it belongs a good concentration on the palate which could last longer. As all serious sherries it is performing well above its price which takes you the question that everyone ask themselves, why don’t I drink more sherry? — 7 years ago

N: Salty dried butterscotch/caramel, Seashore, old boats, rot in the best of ways.
P: Sweet but no… upon entry, the impression is of something unctuous and sweet, for a bit of a second, then DRY. Yellow and gold flowers/melon,
heady at 16°. Great w baby artichokes and Parm and pan seared Branzino.
Varnish lacquer,

Viognier 2018

Petroleum, honeysuckle, yellow cake, and lavender nose. On the palate more petrol, peach nectar, honey, ruby red grapefruit, gunpowder, white pepper, with a powerful petrol after nose. I might have called this a quality german trocken Riesling in a blind test. This is a fabulous Viognier in the french style. — 6 years 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)

Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2014

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. — 7 years ago
