There are years when the growing and the winemaking is effortless…when the crew gets the work done on time, the weather cooperates, and the wines ferment and age without a lot of fuss. I’ve been waiting three years to start tasting what was hidden below all the primary fruit and the hint of French oak. The wine is turning a big corner this Spring and Summer—developing some wonderful earthy notes in the nose. The blackberry and strawberry are turning toward dusty black cherry and forest floor. The midpalate, relieved of its diminishing baby fat, is beginning to speak about soil and fog and winds—and dedicated craft in the field and in the cellar. The wine rocks with anything game—those critters we eat far too rarely—venison, elk, antelope, quail, duck, pheasant. It’s delicate enough for poached salmon and rich enough for a simple preparation of lamb. Also delicious with more tangy and vibrant cheeses—Bosina, Rochetta, and less ripe Tomme de Savoie have been nice matches I’ve enjoyed recently. Dark, rich garnet color, nice mineral mouthfeel with good fruit and complex length in the finish…great acidity as always. No water, acid or enzymes —100% Clos Pepe pinot noir fruit, farmed sustainably without herbicide, insecticide or restricted materials. Blend of 115, 777 and 667 Clones from hillside plantings. 14.4% alcohol and 1/3 new French oak barrels for 11 months. I see no reason why this wine can’t go another 5-10 years in a proper cellar—but most will be consumed gleefully in the next 2 years.” Other wines in the category <A HREF="http://shop.clospepe.com/Category1" TITLE="Wine and Olive Oil">Wine and Olive Oil</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://shop.clospepe.com/Product14 TITLE="European Wine Seminar, Sat.
