Calera remains one of California's most distinctive expressions of Pinot Noir. Perched high on Mt. Harlan, the vineyards rise from rare limestone soils, fierce diurnal shifts, and conditions that challenge the vines at every turn. The wines are shaped by altitude and austerity—native fermentations, whole-cluster structure, gravity-fed handling, and long, patient aging that preserves purity and lift.
Tasting Notes
Calera Jensen Vineyard Pinot Noir
Vibrant and expressive, with red cherry, plum, spice, supple tannins, energetic acidity, and a beautifully balanced finish.

“Calera Pinot Noir reflects a landscape as much as a grape. Limestone, altitude, and discipline converge to create wines of rare clarity and soul.”
