Calera is unique in that it is not in the typical Pinot Noir growing regions in California – it is unto itself. Therefore, the wines coming from here offer a unique perspective. The acidity and minerality along with earthy volcanic soil and higher elevation growing makes these interesting wines. The Jensen Vineyard Pinot offers black cherry, strawberry, lingonberry, light huckleberry and blueberry fruit notes. Additionally there are light notes of pomegranate, sandalwood, Douglas fir, candied almond and Rainer cherry. Though subtle, there is a lot of complexity to this wine, which you discover only after spending time with it. And that is the best part of the Calera portfolio – the wines need attention, and the more you pay attention to this Pinot, the more it offers you. ORIGIN: Mt. Harlan, Gavilan Mountains, San Benito County. ALCOHOL: 14.5%
