ABOUT THIS WINE:
Calera
Pinot Noir
Calera is a vision, and Calera's wines truly express the sense of place. Rather than follow the recommended path, Josh Jensen became a pioneer in American Pinot Noir. Taking his cue from Burgundy's great domains, he set out in search of the perfect spot in California to create wines unique to the world but in the style of the greatest wines of France. This Pinot comes from select vineyards in California's Central Coast viticultural area and has a touch of the elegance and purity found in the top Cuvées. The flavors are lush with red and black fruit flavors supplemented by tea, earth, and spices—a delicious wine from a fantastic Pinot Noir producer.
NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine and is not eligible for discounts, member pricing, or member guarantee. Limited Availability.

WINE REGION:
Central Coast
California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
