The 2008 Clos Pepe Estate Pinot Noir 'Vigneron Select' is a wine chosen and blended by 'Vigneron' Steve Pepe and the rest of our winemaking team as a 'friends and family' style reserve wine. A blend of our favorite barrels from each of the clonal selections (667, 115 and 777), the wine shows a little extra French Oak in its youth and is always a fantastic candidate for a long rest in the cellar.
The 2008 'VS' is a 70 case production, and the blend was chosen unanimously by Steve Pepe and co-winemaker Chanda Hagen. They both pegged the same three barrels for the blend, and after tasting their blend, we all agreed it was wonderful. Dark garnet in color, the 2008 VS shows nice black cherry and baking spice in the nose. It's rich, broad and surprisingly structured--solid grip and acidity guarantee a long cellar life, and the mineral complexity is amazing for such a young wine. Certainly the most Bungundian-styled vintage of VS pinot noir we've produced.
