Discover the elegance of the Calera Central Coast Pinot Noir 2022, crafted by the iconic Calera winery, founded by legendary vintner Josh Jensen in 1975. Nestled in the Gavilan Mountains of California's picturesque Central Coast, Calera has defined the region as a premier New World wine destination.

This exquisite Pinot Noir is made from carefully selected vineyards across the Central Coast, showcasing captivating aromas of ripe blackberry, cedar, and nutmeg. On the palate, enjoy soft, velvety tannins paired with vibrant fruit and spice notes, culminating in a long, luxurious finish.

The 2022 growing season featured below-average rainfall and mild spring temperatures, leading to ideal conditions for balanced ripening. A heat event near Labor Day accelerated ripening in select areas, resulting in a rich, complex wine with bright acidity.

"This priced-to-sell appellation blend gives hints of what the single-vineyard expressions can do in a more accessible manner. Aromas of pomegranate, green peppercorn and oregano decorate the nose. The palate shows baked plum and strawberry flavors as well as Calera’s telltale showing of terpeneladen herbs like bay leaf and marjoram."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Central Coast is one of the few fully destemmed wines in the Calera portfolio. It's packed with sweet cherry-berry fruit, citrus peel lift and savory, earthy undertones. Morello cherry and marionberry join nips of blood orange zest, sweet tobacco and lavender, blossoming with air to reveal their charms. Linear and driven through the finish."
