From the Clos Pepe website: Clos Pepe Estate Wines Wes Hagen (Vineyardist/Winemaker?) Has Tasted Recently:
Tasted Spring, 2008, 2003 Pinot Noir (Sold Out): The last two 2003's I've tasted have been very different, and this wine is very susceptible to bottle variation--especially bottles that have not been stored correctly. At best the wine is really beginning to show beautifully--mature armoas of dried cherry, quite intense, with smoky minerals, great length and both fresh and mature. The other bottle was a bit barnyardy and flat to me. If this wine is in your cellar, take one out and give it a try!
