Truly remarkable bottle of Pinot, revealing a perfect integration of intricacy and finesse.

Round and silky texture, without a strong tannic presence, makes it an excellent option for those aiming for a mellow wine. As a compromise between a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and a more affordable option, it's a outstanding value. The price point of $34 is well worth it, considering its quality. However, it may not be compatible for those seeking a wine with a more pronounced tannic structure, and its price of $55 may be out of reach for some.

What the web is saying

JAX Vineyards Calesa Vineyard Pinot Noir is praised for its smooth, silky texture and balanced refinement.

Voss Experts4.5

Exhibiting a vibrant ruby hue, this Pinot Noir from Calesa Vineyard opens with an enticing bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and a hint of rose petal, underscored by subtle nuances of forest floor and clove. On the palate, it is elegantly structured, with silky tannins and a lively acidity that frames the core of red fruit flavors, interwoven with whispers of black tea and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and graceful, marked by a delicate spiciness. This wine exemplifies the finesse and complexity characteristic of premium Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.
