Calera Pinot Noir de Villiers 2015  - First Bottle

Reviews

94 Vinous -
The 2015 Pinot Noir de Villiers Vineyard is powerful and dense yet also tightly wound at this stage. Even so, the flavors are bright and precise, with a good bit of energy pulsing through the wine. The intense fruit and floral notes are quite appealing, but another few years in bottle should be highly beneficial. All things considered, the de Villiers s one of the more overt Pinots in this range. The 2015 was done with 50% whole clusters, which, as usual, is on the lower side for the estate wines.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
94 points from Calera's newest vineyard in the superb 2015 vintage and a little juicier and riper than some of Calera's other offerings. No less delicious and what a price!

About the Producer

Calera's wines truly express a sense of place. Rather than follow the recommended path, Josh Jensen became a pioneer in American Pinot Noir. Taking his cue from the great domaines of Burgundy, which have grown grapes in limestone soil for centuries, 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. Site selection was vital as he ventured off the grid to plant on the site of an old limekiln in the Gavilan Mountains of California's Central Coast. Today Calera wines still express that pioneer spirit and are revered the world over. 'Calera is one of the most compelling Pinot Noir specialists of not only the New World, but of Planet Earth.' - Robert Parker
