Description

Experience the acclaimed 2018 Calera Mt. Harlan Pinot Noir, a profound expression of California’s Central Coast terroir from one of the region’s most revered single vineyards. Planted in 1975 and harvested at exceptionally low yields, this limited-production wine offers collectors and enthusiasts an extraordinary opportunity.

Critics unanimously celebrate its depth:
* 95 Points, Decanter: Reveals opulent layers of plum, exotic spice, vibrant orange zest, and pine forest aromas after aeration. The palate bursts with juicy black cherry and plum, complex mulled wine spices, and elegant crushed stone minerality. Silky tannins frame notes of cedar oak and dark chocolate, culminating in a remarkably long, saline-tinged finish that provides exceptional freshness. Perfectly balanced for enjoyment now through 2035.
* 95 Points, Wine Enthusiast: Entices with an elegant bouquet of baked berries and creamy masala chai. Rich dark fruit flavors unfold on the palate, beautifully intertwined with floral lavender and peppery spice, all supported by a refined, velvety grip.

Meticulously crafted, this investment-worthy vintage spent 17 months aging in French oak barrels (one-third new), achieving superb integration of its 14.7% ABV. Its distinct salinity and mineral backbone make it an exceptionally food-friendly Pinot Noir, setting it apart as a pinnacle of New World elegance and complexity. Discover why this highly sought-after bottle from a legendary appellation belongs in your cellar.
