The 2021 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard is laced with crushed red berry fruit. Spice, tobacco and mint are some of the notes that grace this expressive, nuanced Pinot. The 2021 was done with fully destemmed fruit, but there is a sense of savoriness here that is quite attractive. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2023)

This is Clos Pepe’s Dark Side bottling, which they only made a few times. What an excellent PN, loaded with dark cherries, other dark fruits and some cola. There was a little left in the decanter about an hour or so after dinner and the fruit was gone as well as the long sweet finish. I had opened and decanted it about an hour before dinner and maybe that was too much time but got through dinner fine. — 16 days ago

2010 vintage. Thinned out somewhat, body-wise, yet still packing a punch. Lots of complexities still in the tasting grasp. 9.20.23. — 11 days ago

Strawberries, eucalyptus and plums on the nose, maybe even a lil crushed raspberry on a medium body, with a ruby core with purple hues through the edges. Old world styled, gripping tannins and dry, with prominent eucalyptus, ripe plum, cigar smoke, and tart cranberries and maybe even a lil tar. Definitely could use some time to soften, but still beautiful! — a day ago

Big and bold Pinot! Deep purple/garnet color. Aromas of cooked black berry/raspberry, purple flowers, black licorice and pepper spice. More black cherry and blueberry fruit on the palate with notes of dark chocolate, baking spices and maple. Quite rich, concentrated and viscous. Velvety tannins and moderately low acidity. Big Pinot! — 18 days ago

Prefer 10 but this delivery was sooner. Still love. Rather drink this and have frozen pizza than go out and have marked up wine. Beautiful Pinot noir. Soft cherry flowers. Not tart. Enjoyed. — a day ago
