| Description: | In 1975, legendary vintner and pioneer Josh Jensen founded Calera (Spanish for âlime kilnâ) high in the Gavilan Mountains of California's majestic Central Coast. In the four decades since, Calera has helped establish the Central Coast as one of the New World's most exciting wine regions, while earning acclaim as one of California's iconic wineries. Crafted using grapes from a handful of the finest vineyards on the Central Coast, this alluring wine offers enticing aromatics, soft, velvety tannins and vibrant fruit and spice. This Pinot Noir is nuanced and complex with a long, lush finish, making it a benchmark for the region. Antonio Galloni's Vinous Media 91 Points - "The 2022 Pinot Noir Central Coast is one of the few fully destemmed wines in the Calera portfolio. It's packed with sweet cherry-berry fruit, citrus peel lift and savory, earthy undertones. Morello cherry and marionberry join nips of blood orange zest, sweet tobacco and lavender, blossoming with air to reveal their charms. Linear and driven through the finish, this cleans up nicely and refreshes the palate. This is one heck of a wine at the appellation level, and it's a great choice for drinking in the near term while you await the 2021s to emerge from their thousand-year slumber.". Jeb Dunnuck 90 Points - "Brought up in 10% new barrels and a larger production release for this estate, the 2022 Pinot Noir Central Coast is ruby-hued and offers a solid nose of ripe framboise, sassafras, and minty, floral-like nuances. It's medium-bodied, round, supple, and undeniably delicious. Drink bottles through 2027. It's a heck of a value." |
