2006 Calera Ryan Vineyard Mt. Harlan Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., 2,155
cases, $40. Crop yield 3.29 tons per acre (average crop yield for this
vineyard over last 10 years is 1.53 tons per acre). Average Brix 25.1º at
harvest. Native fermentation. Aged 16 months in 30% new French oak.
Unfiltered.
·
Potent and seductive aromas of black cherries, black
raspberries, spice, white pepper and red hots. Luscious black cherry
core which is a bit earthy and kissed by minerals. Plenty of good tannin
for the long haul. Rich and mouth filling, persistent, with lively acidity. Perfect in
every way. I’m buying a case.

2005 Calera Ryan Vineyard 30th Anniversary Vintage Mt. Harlan Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., 1,410 cases, $40.
Yields 1.61 tons per acre. Aged 16 months in 18% new French oak. Unfiltered.
·
Bold aromas of ripe black
cherries and berries with a hint of sweet oak. The most Caliesque of the 2005 Pinot Noirs with flashy and
luscious thick fruit tasting of black raspberries, plums, tar and earth. Full and rich on the palate with wellendowed
tannins and a vein of fresh acidity. A hearty Pinot that needs hearty food. Still drinking fine the next
day from a previously opened re-corked bottle. Very good.

2002 Calera Ryan Vineyard 1st Harvest Mt. Harlan Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., 115 cases, $40. Yields
were .3 tons per acre.
·
Aromas of dark fruits, toast and a touch of alcohol. A full mouth of lush dark fruits
with plenty of unresolved tannins on the finish. A huge Pinot that drinks like a Cabernet Franc. Needs a
steak.
