    A Must-See, 97 Point Pinot Noir from Calera

    If you’re a Pinot Noir fan, you’ve most likely have heard of, or even personally enjoyed the wines from Calera. Calera is THE iconic US producer of Pinot Noir - legendary because the back-vintages age and improve like red Burgundy.

    Calera was founded by the late Josh Jensen who set out to produce California wines that would rival the best French Burgundies.
