Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: Sweet cinnamon intermixed with hints of soy, mint, and black as well as red fruits are enticing in this deep, medium to full-bodied, expansively flavored Pinot Noir. Long, lusty, and beautifully concentrated, drink this gorgeous offering over the next 3-4 years.
Producer InformationIn 1975, legendary vintner and American wine pioneer Josh Jensen founded Calera (Spanish for âlime kilnâ) high in the remote Gavilan Mountains of Californiaâs windswept Central Coast. There, in Mt. Harlanâs low-yielding, limestone-rich soils and cool, arid climate, he began planting what would ultimately become six small estate vineyards. Today, these vineyards are recognized as some of the New Worldâs most revered Pinot Noir sites. Calera is a vision, and Caleraâs wines truly express the sense of place. Rather than follow the recommended path, Josh Jensen became a pioneer in American Pinot Noir. Taking his cue from the great domaines of Burgundy, which have grown grapes in limestone soil for centuries, he set out in search of the perfect spot in California to create wines unique to the world but in the style of the greatest wines of France. Site selection was vital as he ventured off the grid to plant on the site of an old limekiln in the Gavilan Mountains of California's Central Coast. Under the stewardship of Winemaker Mike Waller, each vineyard is renowned for producing singular wines of uncommon purity, elegance and aging potential. In addition to its beloved single-vineyard wines, Calera partners with some of the top vineyards on Californiaâs majestic Central Coast to make Caleraâs beautiful Central Coast wines, including a Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
