Calera 2019 Pinot Noir “Ryan” Mount Harlan 95 Points

Winemaker Notes: “Now over two decades in age, the Pinot Noir plantings from Ryan Vineyard on Mt. Harlan have produced a beautifully vibrant and expressive wine with red cherry and cola aromas, as well as flavors of fresh plum, white pepper, and cocoa. On the palate, it is energetic and lively, with supple tannins and a bright, impeccably balanced finish.”

James Suckling 96 Points: “Plum, dried strawberry and rose stem aromas. Full-bodied, layered and savory with fine tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Juicy and bright. Drink or hold.”

Wine Enthusiast 95 Points: “Showing lighter in the glass, this bottling from 1988 vines offers dark mulberry fruit on the complex nose alongside turned earth, juniper and toasty cappuccino notes. The gamy elements are well integrated on the palate, where coffee bean, roasted plum and bay leaf extend into a caramel-kissed finish.”
