Calera Wine Company Ryan Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012
The 2012 Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard is one of the more laid-back Pinots in this range, with expressive aromatics pushed forward, while the fruit lies more in the background. Sage, mint, lavender and violet overtones grace the mid-weight, subtle finish... Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Darkest Pinot I have ever encountered, intense, extremely tannic, very big and concentrated. Surprisingly Nebbiolo like, but very good, I bet Nebbiolo would do well at this vyd!

Final counterpoint before a Burgundian weekend. Ryan en fuego in a lovely vintage.

Opened in honor of Josh Jenson. Unfortunately this one was very ripe, almost port-like, with a distinct alcohol burn.

The namesake of my brother, this was my first sampling of the Ryan Vineyard. It was outstanding! Through August, this is easily in my top 3 bottles so far this year!
