Calera Pinot Noir Central Coast 2019

In 1975, legendary vintner and American wine pioneer Josh Jensen founded Calera (Spanish for lime kiln) high in the remote Gavilan Mountains of Californias windswept Central Coast. There, in Mt. Harlans 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 Worlds most revered Pinot Noir sites.
Crafted using grapes from a handful of the finest vineyards on the Central Coast, this alluring wine offers lovely aromatics, soft, velvety tannins, and vibrant fruit. On the palate, layers of Bing cherry, wild strawberry, and sassafras are underscored by hints of white pepper and baking spices that add nuance and complexity to a long, lush finish.
