Dark sensual Pinot. Notes of raspberries, licorice, Indian spices and orange peel. The wine had more “Zinfandel-like “ notes. Fascinating wine to follow over and hour or so.

Nov 17th, 2017Excellent but obviously too young. Upon opening, the nose is expressive but the palette tight. This seems to switch hours later. Finally comes together the second night with a long Burgundian finish. This will be great in 5 to 10 years. Cheers!

May 19th, 2017Open more than 2 days….was lighter and a little fresher than other recent vintages of Calera I've had. Showed brighter red fruits and bright acidity. '13s could develop really well.
