Calera 2005 Thirtieth Anniversary Vintage Jensen Vineyard Pinot Noir (Mt. Harlan)

Country: US / Thirtieth Anniversary Vintage Jensen Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Calera / Mt. Harlan

This is the biggest, ripest, most Californian of Calera’s new ’05s. It has delicious berry, orange tea, spice and vanilla flavors, and is very dry, but also quite soft. There’s not a whole lot of structure. It may be going through an awkward phase. Could surprise over the years, as previous Caleras have.
