Light mix of garnet and ruby red. Light and elegant nose with lavender, floral, cinnamon and cherries. Some dirtiness and greenery too. Medium acidity (6.5/10) and medium bodied. A bit funky in the palate with some smoky notes. More notes of boiled cherries, minerality, raspberries, spices and anise. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2021.

I figured it out. Calera pinots taste like Syrah based wines, not burgundy, and they are delicious as such.

Ambitious but doesn't quite get there. It lacks punch and mid palate width.

One of the best California viogniers out there, period.

Rich and decadent, yet subtle and graceful, this will handsomely reward cellaring, thanks to great tannins and acid balance. I know that Josh likes it too...

Mineral. Dark cherry. Great acid and tannin balance.

One of my favorite wines. 8 yrs of age has it ready to drink. Amazing wine from one of the great California wineries that pioneered Pinot in CA but gets too little mention.

This is a different kind of California Pinot. Acid balanced fruit beautifully, and bottle age has softened the tannins. The complexity is there, but you have to dig a little deeper to find it. Really nice.
