Calera has earned its reputation as one of California's great pinot noir producers and the affordable 2006 Central Coast Pinot Noir continues in this vein. Deeply hued with a concentrated nose that screams pinot, the wine is punctuated by notes of black cherry, plum and sweet spice. The bright palate exudes ripe summer berry flavors complimented by black tea and spice. This wine has great texture and is well-balanced, with fine-grained tannins that will assure a long and tasty life.
