Country: US / Reed Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Calera / Mt. Harlan
Shows a dryness and earthiness that mark Calera’s most ageworthy Pinot Noirs. But that doesn’t mean it’s not good now. It is, with impressive black cherry, licorice, bacon, vanilla and sandalwood flavors, wrapped into a drily crisp, silky texture. Drink through 2012, at least.
