Ryan Vineyard Pinot Noir
Cherry strawberry and chalky character. The whole cluster made me think Burgundy when blinded. A little grippy gritty finish

Oct 25th, 2016Fresh and young Pinot. Still a lot of dill on the nose, but that classic Calera fruit comes through. Acidic and a tiny bit of tannin. Yummy but I have had better from Calera.
