About Clos Pepe Estate
Clos Pepe Estate carries the French-enclosed-vineyard tradition (clos, the walled vineyard) combined with Pepe — a Spanish/Italian nickname (the diminutive of José/Giuseppe) applied to the founding owner's personal identity. Wes Hagen's Clos Pepe in the Sta. Rita Hills produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from one of the appellation's most consistently critically acclaimed estate vineyards, where the diurnal temperature swings, calcareous soils, and daily Pacific Ocean fog create growing conditions of extraordinary cool-climate intensity. Wine Advocate has scored Clos Pepe's Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir at 92–96 points.
