Calera Reed Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011
Region: Central Coast, California
Variety: Red Wine
Rating: 90.0

Briar, berry pie and flinty, rocky sassafras mark this 2011 Reed Vineyard Pinot Noir; one of the most concentrated and richest showings from this north/northeast facing block. The mouthwatering, yet taut flavors of black plum, forest floor, sleek red fruits and a unique salinity make it a delicious and fascinating wine. The structure is full and round but firm, with exquisite balance and a wonderful lingering finish.
