2023 Calera Central Coast Pinot Noir, California, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

This expressive Pinot Noir captivates with inviting aromas of dark raspberry, sandalwood, and clove. On the palate, layers of blackcurrant and ripe cherry unfold over a backdrop of supple tannins, while hints of baking spice add depth, culminating in a long, polished finish.

TASTING NOTES: 

The 2023 Pinot Noir is seamless and supple in vanilla, dark cherry, and a twist of earthy forest, sourced from several vineyards in San Benito, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara. Long lasting, fresh, and approachable, it has full-bodied weight and breadth supported by supple tannins and spiced oak and should be enjoyable for another 5-7 years.
