Calera Pinot Noir Mount Harlan Ryan Vineyard (ORGANIC) A packed red, with a core of mulled dark currant, black cherry and blackberry paste flavors that are dense yet defined, while singed anise, alder and warm earth notes fill in throughout. The rigid structure carries the finish, leaving a chalky, mouthwatering echo. With the fruit to match its matrix, this should be a beauty at its peak. Best from 2026 through 2040. 1,100 cases made. —JM
