Calera 2019 Ryan Vineyard Pinot Noir – Mt. Harlan, Central Coast

Critically Acclaimed California Pinot Noir with Age-Worthy Complexity

Experience the artistry of Calera’s single-vineyard Pinot Noir, crafted from low-yield vines (under 1 ton/acre) in the mineral-rich soils of Mt. Harlan. The 2019 vintage reveals a captivating bouquet of wild strawberries, crushed blackberries, and violet, layered with earthy notes of loam and cracked pepper.

Why This Wine Stands Out:
– 96-Point Elegance (The Somm Journal): Silky texture balanced by vibrant acidity, with grippy tannins and herbal depth.
– Concentrated Flavors: Black raspberry, elderflower, and sage unfold on a palate framed by chalky tannins (Wine Enthusiast 94 pts).
– Cellar-Worthy Structure (Wine Spectator 92 pts): Ripe loganberry and black cherry meld with incense and black tea, finishing with a polished, mineral-driven length.

Winemaker’s Craft: Matured for 20 years, Ryan Vineyard’s vines yield a wine of remarkable depth. Bright acidity and firm tannins promise excellent aging potential (best after 2023), while the lush finish lingers with hints of dried herbs and red fruit.
