Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

This is NOT your usual overdone Viognier, no sir. Yes, there's some tropical fruit, a little mango, but it's the freshness and acidity and precise-ness that slays it here. A very cool white from one of the best producers of this variety we know.

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
