Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Clos Pepe Vineyard has a stemmy nose with underlying hints of Bing cherries, cranberries and underbrush, plus a waft of dried lavender. The palate offers a lot of bang with loads of savory, red berry and mineral layers marked by crisp acidity and a solid frame of chewy tannins, finishing long.
