A complete wine, the 2011 Pinot Noir Clos Pepe Vineyard has knockout complexity, a silky texture and outstanding length on the finish. Showing sweet red fruits, incense, flowers and toasted spice aromas and flavors, with a seamless, medium-bodied profile, it is already approachable and ready to go. While hard to resist now, it should evolve gracefully through 2019. Drink now-2019.
Run by proprietors Adam and Dianna Lee, this estate produces a bevy of high quality efforts from all over California. While known for making wines with immediate appeal, his 2011s might just surprise some people with the solid structure and longevity. They're beautiful, elegant efforts that make the most of the cool vintage
