Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2010

Perhaps the finest Viognier I have tasted recently, the 2009 Viognier Mt. Harlan was made from ridiculously low yields of 1.25 tons of fruit per acre, whole cluster pressed, put through full malolactic fermentation, and aged in neutral oak for ten months with no racking. The result is a brilliant expression of Viognier. Nectarine, mango, guava, white peach, and honeysuckle aromas soar from the glass of this full-bodied, concentrated white. It also reveals a good underpinning of fresh acids and minerality. A tour de force for Viognier, it should drink nicely for 1-3 years.

About Winery

Trained in Burgundy, Calera's founder and winemaker Josh Jensen, established the vineyard in 1975. From its first plantings, Calera has focused on distinctive Burgundian  varieties Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Aligote cultivated in limestone soils near northern California's Mt. Harlan. The original plantings are the Selleck Vineyard (5 acres), Reed Vineyard (5 acres), and Jensen Vineyard (14 acres). Calera is one of the original California producers of Aligote as well as Viognier.
