Established 1975. In 1975, legendary vintner and American wine pioneer Josh Jensen founded Calera (Spanish for lime kiln) high in the remote Gavilan Mountains of California's windswept Central Coast. There, in the region's rare limestone soils, he began a quest to create a more profound style of American Pinot Noir. Today, Calera's wines are beloved by connoisseurs the world over for their cool-dimate purity and grace. Sourced from some of the appellation's finest vineyards, the Calera Central Coast Pinot Noir offers beautifully delineated layers of fruit and spice that pair perfectly with fascinating friends and creative cuisine. calerawine.com. 14.5% alc by vol. 29
