A heady array of juicy dark berries flowers and spices bursts from the glass as the 2010 Pinot Noir Clos Pepe Vineyard shows off its personality. This is a rich full-bodied flashy Pinot with all of its elements in the right place. A polished beautifully articulated finish rounds things out in style. The 2010 is a relatively big wine for Clos Pepe but it works. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. -Antonio Galloni
