NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Calera Pinot Noir Selleck Vineyard is a beautifully balanced expression of the variety.On the nose, aromas of dark cherry, cedar, and spice are complemented by subtle earthy notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and lush, with layers of plum and blackberry flavors, along with hints of tobacco and cocoa powder. Soft tannins provide a velvety texture, and the finish lingers with a pleasant hint of oak. Enjoy this classic Pinot Noir with grilled meats or roast poultry.

ORIGINS

Winery: Calera

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
