Tasting notes
The 2013 Pinot Noir Calegari Vineyard is bold and juicy to the core, yet also has terrific supporting structure to balance things out. Super-ripe raspberry, rose petal and tobacco notes give the wine its racy, succulent personality. The Calegari fleshes out nicely on the mid-palate and finish, where the wine shows striking vertical depth. This is very nicely done.
