Mango peel, avocado, vanilla, nougat, licorice on the nose. Smooth velvet like. Nice acidity, good length, citrus caramel. Starts very good but sort of dies once the temperature rises.

Reminds me of a good German/Czech PN, hints of green, oaky, coffee. On the palate some strawberries appear, tart, heat ends it all but not in a bad way. Great!

2012 Calera Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard

Compact sweet fruit that first made me belive it was a Malbec. Paraffin, bicycle chain spray, plastic, chocolate. On the palate lingon berry, raspberry, powerful tannins, weak acidity that makes it a bit unbalanced.
