Ojai 2007 Clos Pepe Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Clos Pepe Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Ojai / Sta. Rita Hills

Made in a dry, austerely tannic style, this Pinot Noir is very elegantly constructed, with notable acidity. It’s dense and young, but very concentrated in black cherry jam, cola, beef jerky, olive tapenade, sandalwood and spice flavors. Needs time to resolve. Better after 2011.
