Calera Pinot Noir Jensen Vineyard 2005

Blog

I had the pleasure of sampling the 2004 vintage of the Calera Jensen Vineyard Pinot Noir in 2014. The 2005 is one that I slightly prefer over the 2004—this bottle has developed beautifully and is within its drinking window. The nose, a symphony of leather, earth, spiced apple rings, Rainier cherries, raspberry, and dried lavender. Silky on entry, with a red-fruited core neatly trussed in ultra-fine tannins that subside to a mineral-tipped finish. 14.0% ABV
