Reviews

This Pinot Noir opens with inviting aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry accented by rose petal and subtle baking spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and silky, offering bright red fruit flavors supported by lively acidity and fine, polished tannins. Gentle earthy notes and a hint of forest floor add depth through the mid-palate. The wine maintains excellent balance and freshness from start to finish. The finish is smooth, refined, and pleasantly persistent.

Pinot Noir grape blend.

The Estate

Calera Wine Company is a benchmark California producer known for its Burgundian approach to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drawing from select vineyards across the Central Coast, this bottling delivers regional expression with Calera’s signature balance, precision, and elegance.

Wine Making

Pinot Noir grapes are sourced from select Central Coast vineyard sites influenced by cooling ocean breezes. Fermentation is conducted with careful temperature control to preserve aromatics and texture, followed by aging designed to integrate flavors without overpowering the fruit. The winemaking approach emphasizes balance, restraint, and varietal clarity.

Food Suggestions

This Central Coast Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled salmon, and mushroom-forward dishes. It also complements pork tenderloin, duck, and pasta with lighter sauces. Its elegance and food-friendly structure make it a strong option for by-the-glass programs and refined dining menus.
