de Villiers Vineyard Pinot Noir

Way young, fruit tannin was monstrous here. Rose and a hint of tar, if it had a little more acidity it would age gracefully (like decades)

Great balance! Fresh cranberry, brown sugar, leather, nice body & acidity. Love the finish.

My favorite calera vineyard to drink young. 100% destemmed juicy berry fruit. Decadent bit balanced.

Lovely spice on the nose, with a unique darker fruit. Possible pruner or unripened plumb. Cardamom. Mild in mid palette , heavy tannins encompassing the full mouthfeel. 0 sweetness. All in all, doesn't blow my mind. If you're looking for very tannic, little to no fruit, Grenache like slate feeling, this is the wine for you.

Don't let the light color fool you, great structure, length and power. Wonderful.
