Calera Pinot Noir "JENSEN" Mt. Harlan 750mL
| Vintage: | 2020 |

| Description: | Josh Jensen was enamored with classic French wines, and in particular, Burgundy. He travelled the wine regions of France, and was lucky enough to work harvest at Domaine de la Romanee Conti in 1970, as well as Domaine Dujac in 1971. The cellarmaster at DRC often had English-speaking visitors, so Josh was asked to frequently join them, and taste all the winesâŚwow!. Josh realized that limestone was key to the best Burgundies, and when he came back to the Us, he seeked out cool-climate areas that emulated the soils of Burgundy, and that search landed him inland of Monterey. Here, he made the world take note of his desire, and when the wines were released to the public, nobody could deny that Josh had succeeded! While Calera makes several different bottlings of Pinot Noir, none are more sought-after than the Jensen bottling. Named after Josh's father, this certified organic vineyard produces the most age worthy wines from the property. At more than 40 years old, the coveted old vines of Jensen Vineyard have produced a stunning wine that offers depth, elegance and luxurious complexity. Aromas of wild strawberry, rhubarb, pomegranate and black cherry leap from the glass beckoning a first sip. On the palate, the flavors turn deep and dark, with layers of blueberry, juicy blackberry and cocoa building to a long, dramatic finish. |
