91 RP "The 2001 Pinot Noir Clos Pepe reveals a dark ruby color along with an autumnal/forest floor/mushroom-scented nose displaying delicate nuances of plums, cherries, figs, and oak. This offering is a dead ringer for a top-flight Burgundy. With wonderful integration of tannin and acidity, medium body, and gorgeous sweetness, it is presently measured and shy, requiring introspection. Nevertheless, it is more approachable than the structured Rozak cuvee." 88 WS A deceptively complex and understated wine that's light in color but rich and concentrated, with spicy cherry, wild berry, mineral and earthy notes, finishing with firm, slightly stemmy tannins. Drink now through 2007. 70 cases made.
