1/21/24 - First taste of the “baby Harlan” which did not disappoint, black fruit, vegetal bouquet with a slight white pepper, slightly tannic medium finish; more “old world” style with a Napa twist; still a little young; glad I bought a case to experience over the next years. — 3 months ago
The 1989 Pinot Noir Jensen Vineyard from Calera is a real surprise. I am inexperienced with respect to mature Californian Pinot Noir, and Josh Jensen’s wine was a revelation. Candied red fruit commingles with blood orange and Kirsch, unmistakably not from Burgundy because it is too rich, but it is certainly not over-ripe. The palate is overly sweet and Californian on the entry. Still, there is structure behind this Pinot extant after more than three decades, with quite plush raspberry fruit on the quintessentially Californian finish. It's just a lovely wine that is, once again, perfect to drink now. (Neal Martin, Vinous, April 2024)
