The 2009 Pinot Noir De Villiers Vineyard from vines planted in 1997 bursts from the glass with expressive juicy fruit. Dark red berries flowers mint spices and an orange rind follow leading to a generous inviting finish. The De Villiers is the only vineyard-designate Pinot made from fully de-stemmed fruit. It is a towering wine of incomparable class and elegance. Simply put this is a stunning showing from Calera. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. 96+ -Antonio Galloni
