March 25, 2012 - Tasted 3/25/12. Retail ~$55. I paid $60 (including shipping). I have more wine from the Clos Pepe vineyard than from any other, by far. This wine did not disappoint. It had that wonderful eucalyptus nose that I find in almost every bottle from the Sta. Rita Hills. Still tons of fruit left here and plenty of backbone. An absolute delight. Outstanding.

April 16, 2011 - Sadly, my last bottle of this wine, and it was excellent. Nose has mellowed a bit, with notes of pie crust, strawberry, flowers, and earth. Palate still has a core of sweet black cherry, with notes of clove, cola and a pleasing citrus streak. Well done.

November 30, 2010 - Nice nose and still youthful. A bit too medicinal tasting (think cough medicine) for my taste....though not dissimilar to some other Santa Barbara pinots
