-- Highly Recommended: California Grapevine, v.34.#2
Highly Recommended: California Grapevine, v.34.#2. Another perfect growing season in the Sta. Rita Hills: warm Spring, cool, exceptionally long Summer, and harvest at the perfect moment to capture the magic of the Clos Pepe Vineyard. A blend of 115, 667 and 777 clones, picked on three separate dates to represent a blend of an early, mid-ripeness and slightly later picks. The wine has great red and black berry fruit and richness for its moderate alcohol. The aromas are blackberry, blueberry and strawberry—fresh and bright in a background of earthy minerals and fantastic structure. The wine is a nice blend of the high-toned fruit of the 2005 vintage and the fantastic structure of 2004. Cellar it as long as you can stand it: it’s a very nice pleasure wine in its youth, but it really wants to be laid down for 4-8 years for full complexity and harmony. Look for it to turn a corner around 2010, and persist well into that decade. Try this wine with strong cheese, duck confit, a nice piece of poached salmon, venison or smoked pork loin with cherry peppercorn sauce. About 700 cases made. 14.4% alcohol, 3.38 pH at 7 grams of acid. California ripeness at Continental levels of structure.
