February 24, 2024 - Big and rich PN, lots of generous fruit to the nose and palate. Some tasters call out plum. Drinking great for 12 yr old CC PN. Mineral, rich, but dry. Light tannin. 5-6 more years if you wanted.

December 3, 2021 - Very interesting old California Pinot. Still fresh and lively but with maturity. Very resitent wine. Last bottle.

Slight effervescence on opening. Ripe but not raisiny, gentle tannin and medium acid. Nondescript quaffer I probably wouldn't ID as pinot double blind. -

April 3, 2017 - This is Calera's base pinot and it is quite good for this price range. I think it has significant life left and will save my second bottle for next year. The wine opened up considerably over several hours, at first a bit frizzante and unsettled and a bit wild but with air it became a very good California version of a Burgundian style pinot. Not overly sweet, good balance and plenty of fruit from start to finish. Drink 2018 - 2019.
