    Winemaker Notes

    This seventh vintage of Bob Pepi's first Eponymouse wine from Sonoma Valley immediately pleases wtih complex aromas of blueberry, spicy oak, orange blossoms, raspberries and hints of vanilla and cloves, as it opens. Held to the light, it shimmers wtih a rich, purple-scarlet color that hints at the broad palate these grapes afford the winemaker. It has excellent body and structure with the flavors following the aromas, and added nuances of cassis and allspice. The mouthfeel boasts elegance and balance that is the hallmark of fine red Bordeaux blends with a lush entry and continuing through the mid-palate and on to a long, pleasing finish.

    Blend: 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Cabernet Franc, 21% Merlot.

    Eponymous Winemaker Bob Pepi Winery Image

    Robert L. Pepi knows what it's like not to own his own name. When his family sold the renowned Robert

    Pepi Winery in 1994, the label lived on. But, Bob Pepi himself cannot put it on a wine label. Therefore,

    the first wine that Bob has made for himself since the sale of the family name has a label that reflects

    both his belief that "wine should be fun" and explains his predicament. Eponymous is "one for whom or which something is or is believed to be named". Bob Pepi has given it his own playful definition, “a play on words by one who is unable to use his family name on his own bottle of wine”. Bob makes his wines from vineyards he specially selected in both the Napa and Sonoma Valleys.

    One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.

    Sonoma Valley Wine

    Sonoma County, California

    Perhaps the most historically significant appellation in Sonoma County, the Sonoma Valley is home to both Buena Vista winery, California's oldest commercial winery, and Gundlach Bundschu winery, California's oldest family-run winery.

    It is also one of the more geologically and climactically diverse districts. The valley includes and overlaps four distinct Sonoma County sub-appellations, including Carneros, Moon Mountain District, Sonoma Mountain and Bennett Valley. With mountains, benchlands, plains, abundant sunshine and the cooling effects of the nearby Pacific, this appellation can successfully produce a wide range of grape varieties. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gewürztraminer, and most notably, Zinfandel all thrive here. Ancient Zinfandel vines over 100 years old produce small crops of concentrated, spicy fruit, which in turn make some of the Valley's most unique wines. These can also be made as “field blends” (wines made from a mix of grape varieties grown in the same vineyard) along with Petite Sirah, Carignan and Alicante Bouschet.
