Calera 2021 Pinot Noir, de Villiers Vineyard, Mt. Harlan

“Sourced from 1996 plantings, the 2021 Pinot Noir de Villiers Vineyard is the most floral and perfumed of the range, opening with hibiscus and rose petal aromas that mingle with its otherwise dark, deep core of black fruits and toasty tobacco flourishes. The palate is lavish and rich, occupying a uniquely lush, powerful spot in the Calera lineup while sacrificing none of the mountainous structure that one should expect from this site. The finish is long and staining, framed by gently chewy, weightless tannins that linger.”—Matthew Luczy, RobertParker.com
