Calera Selleck Vineyard Mount Harlan Pinot Noir 2001

This is the most accessible of Calera’s current single-vineyard releases, a real charmer with its creamy cherry, mocha and oaky vanilla flavors. But don’t be misled, it’s an ager. Acidity is big, tannins are sturdy, balance is fine. As with all Calera Pinots, this wine is elegantly structured. Score – 91. (Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 31, 2005)
