The 2022 Calera Pinot Noir Central Coast is a stunning red wine from the heart of California's exquisite Central Coast wine region. Celebrated producer, Calera, has crafted this bodacious varietal with an expert hand, resulting in a wine that is as intriguing as it is satisfying. Encapsulated by a traditional cork closure, this wine's deep red color hints at the powerful flavors that lie within.

As soon as you uncork this bottle, you are greeted with bright wild strawberry aromatics, a tantalizing blend of wildflowers and mint, reminiscent of a serene French countryside. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, this wine is robust, yet not overpoweringly so.

On the palate, this Pinot Noir exudes a bright burst of luscious red fruits, followed by a hint of a unique phenolic character. The finish is marked by delightful wild garrigue notes, a nod to the wine's natural Californian roots.

A reviewer from Decanter has praised its fantastic French countryside fruit character, while a critic from Wine & Spirits notes its herbal scent of tobacco, its black cherry fruit being wooly and rich. The flavors are pronounced yet balanced, offering juicy intensity perfect to pair with a sumptuous duck dish. The 2022 Calera Pinot Noir Central Coast celebrates the classic Pinot Noir grape, making it a must-try for both aficionados and novices alike.
