The 2014 Pinot Noir (Central Coast) is both impeccable and absolutely delicious. Sweet, floral and open-knit, the Central Coast is also a fabulous introduction to the Calera house style. Beautifully perfumed and gracious, the 2014 offers striking aromatics and plenty of bright fruit to match its mid-weight, chiseled personality. Drink it over the next few years.

A determined and honest Pinot Noir that makes up in purity for what it lacks in complexity. Ripe cranberry, squeezed citrus, freshly cut flowers, and newly tilled earth, with a scattered handful of spices.

This Pinot was a bit one dimensional. Not a whole lot to comment on. Certainly had varietal character but very linear and monochromatic.

Auditioning new wines for the everyday Pinot shelf at the house. Not bad.
