The 2007 Pinot Noir Clos Pepe displays loads of cola/sassafras notes along with some plum and sour cherry notes. The tannin seems slightly elevated for the moderate amount of concentration the wine possesses. Stylish, elegant, and medium-bodied, it is best drunk over the next 2-3 years, as it doesn’t have sufficient depth to age very long. Adam Tolmach continues to dial back the intensity of his wines for reasons that escape me. The three Chardonnays I tasted were all certainly very good, but it seems to me that ten years ago they would have been even better.Tel. (805) 649-1674

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.——S.H.(12/31/2010)—— 92
