WINE DESCRIPTION

Ojai Clos Pepe Vineyard Pinot Noir is a sophisticated red wine from the Sta. Rita Hills AVA in California, renowned for producing top-quality Pinot Noir. Sourced from the esteemed Clos Pepe Vineyard, this wine captures the cool-climate characteristics of the region, with the vineyard’s sandy soils and coastal breezes contributing to the grape's refined structure and vibrant acidity. Fermented with minimal intervention and aged in French oak, this Pinot Noir offers aromas of red berries, earthy notes, and a touch of spice. Its balanced complexity and silky texture make it a standout wine for those seeking elegance and depth.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Pinot Noir opens with bright aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and cherry, complemented by earthy undertones and hints of clove and cinnamon.On the palate, it is supple and nuanced, with lively acidity, fine-grained tannins, and flavors of red fruit, forest floor, and subtle oak. Its long, smooth finish makes it a perfect companion for roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or grilled salmon.

ORIGINS

Winery: Ojai

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
