The 2017 Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard, aged 17 months in 30% new French oak, has a pale to medium ruby-purple color and is youthful and shy to begin. With coaxing, aromas of prosciutto, wild blackberries, lemon peel and redcurrants emerge, with nuances of oolong tea leaves and dusty earth. Medium-bodied, it's broody and earthy with lifted citrusy accents in the mouth, a finely grained frame and juicy freshness on the finish. 1,982 cases produced.

Jensen's 2013 Pinot Noir Mills Vineyard is a beauty! It possesses a medium ruby color and sumptuous notes of mulled cherries, raspberries, dusty earth, spice box and wild herbs. Medium-bodied, richly textured, balanced and lively, with good acidity and a great finish, this is a terrific Pinot Noir to drink over the coming decade.

From one of the cooler terroirs on the estate, the 2012 Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard offers full-bodied richness and depth to go with ample sweet black cherries, cassis, sassafras, crushed flowers and toasted spice. A decidedly hedonistic, full throttled example of this cuvee, this superb Pinot Noir firms up nicely on the finish and has a full, layered mid-palate. Drink it now, or cellar it for a decade.

The 2008 Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard comes across as soft, delicate and perfumed. Sweet red berries, crushed flowers, licorice and tobacco are some of the notes that flow from this understated Pinot. The Ryan Vineyard is already a touch forward, suggesting it is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018.

From one of the property’s coolest sites, the 2007 Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard reveals nearly overwhelming notes of sassafras, root vegetables, plums, red currants, and raspberries. It is a spicy, earthy effort with an autumnal-like herbaceousness. Aged 17 months in French oak (30% new), it is a Pinot Noir for those who prefer that varietal’s spicy, stemmy, earthy side. Nevertheless, there is still plenty of fruit in this complex, singular cuvee.
This may be the strongest group of wines Calera has produced in many years. From their less expensive whites through the generic and single vineyard Pinot Noirs, this remarkable portfolio showcases this idiosyncratic terroir isolated on Mt. Harlan. For starters, Calera has once again made the finest Aligote in America.

The 2012 Pinot Noir Mills Vineyard comes from 26-year-old own-rooted vinesand was harvest September 20 to October 17. Aged 18 months in 30% new Frenchoak, its semi-opaque ruby color is followed by sensational notes of ripecurrants and darker fruits, scorched earth, smoked meats, licorice andchalky minerality. Big, rich, full-bodied and layered, with a huge coreof fruit that never seems over the top or heavy, this elegant, profoundPinot Noir can be enjoyed anytime over the coming decade or more.

There are just under 900 cases of the 2013 Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard,
and like the de Villiers cuvee, it spent 19 months in 30% new barrels.
This is a big, rich, yet still graceful Pinot Noir that's loaded with
notions of mulberries, sappy underbrush, licorice, violets and dried
earth. Mouth-filling, polished, balanced and concentrated, this changed
dramatically with extended airing, and where it was a touch burly on
opening, the tannin sweetened up beautifully and it showed much more
polish with air. Nevertheless, there's ample tannin here and it should
be given 2-3 years of cellaring. When all is said and done, this might
be the finest vintage of this cuvee to date.

The transparent ruby-colored 2010 Pinot Noir Mills Vineyard has
considerable structure and depth hiding under all of its texture and
richness. Offering up notions of sweet cherries, strawberry, underbrush,
crushed flowers and chalky minerality, it has a massive mid-palate,
incredible purity and a seamless, elegant overall profile. It, too, will
have 10-12 years or more of prime drinking. Drink now-2025.

I loved the 2012 Pinot Noir de Villiers. It's a beautifully complete, balancedand satisfying Pinot Noir that does everything right. Giving up tons ofsweet black raspberry and strawberry fruits, spice-box, dried flowers andpotpourri characteristics, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless,with a ripe, supple texture that keeps you coming back to the glass. Whilethere's more than enough fruit to keep this enjoyable now, there's somesolid tannin and depth in there as well, so it will age.

The biggest, richest wine in the lineup is the 327-case 2013 Pinot Noir
Selleck Vineyard, which comes from the 4.8-acre Selleck Vineyard (this
is one of the warmer terroirs on the estate). It was harvested from
September 24th to October 4th, spending 18 months in 30% new puncheons
before being bottled unfiltered. This is a blockbuster, rich,
concentrated and textured Pinot Noir that has bright acidity, a huge
core of fruit and layers of framboise, red currants, forest floor, mint,
dried flowers and exotic spices. Needing air to show at its best, this
beauty is up with the 2012 and absolutely one of the finest Pinot Noirs
coming out of California. This totally profound wine will be better in a
year or two and drink well for over a decade.

More rich and structured, yet still sexy and voluptuous, the 2010 Pinot
Noir Jensen Vineyard offers up a complex array of underbrush, black
cherry, framboise, crushed flowers, toast and spice on both the nose and
palate. Easily one of the most impressive Pinot Noirs I’ve tasted from
California, this ethereally textured, tannic effort should be given 3-4
years of bottle age and then consumed over the following decade or more.
Drink 2016-2026.
