    November 12, 2021 - Better than prune-like 1999, but not particularly elegant either.

    March 20, 2020 - Liked this better than I expected. Would get more

    June 18, 2017 - 98 Pts Outstanding, near perfect Pinot Noir! Beautiful full red color, unsullied by aging, gorgeous nose, of subtle black cherry morphing to strawberry and sharp but appealing rhubarb, teak, old leather, with hint of rose petals, an astonishing sophisticated finish that demanded, "more!" Bravo, Calera! This wine is being underrated, I promise you!

  • Italiana Likes this wine:

    May 27, 2016 - This bottle belied the critics' drinking window--it was still going strong with transparent red without obvious browning and plenty going on in the glass. A proper pinot noir--elegant, restrained, and delicious.

    March 29, 2016 - Fairly dark red. Savory aromas. Fruit pretty well faded in this bottle. Good acidity. Medium body. Short finish.
