Roessler Cellars Clos Pepe Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills, USA

點擊次數(shù)：2597

Shows lots of classy elegance, with brisk acidity and firm minerals and some finely ground tannins that frame the wild cherry, cola and oak flavors. Good now for its flamboyant deliciousness, but really too immature. Give it 3–5 years in the cellar to begin to develop bottle complexity.——S.H.(9/1/2010)—— 92

Clos Pepe is one of those vineyards that rarely fails to dazzle, and Roessler has done as good a job at interpreting it as any of the wineries that designate its fruit. The wine shows a terrific balance of acids, oak and tannins, with an elegantly silky texture and exquisitely ripe, but controlled, cherry, pomegranate, cola, tea and Asian spice flavors that finish with a lip-smacking, chalky minerality.——S.H.(2/1/2008)—— 96
