Two very different styles. The Mills was much more giving with spice box nose and sweet red fruit on the palate. The Reed had that classic Mt. Harlan nose and limestone minerality, but was very stem heavy throughout and much more acid. Always fun to try the different vineyards side by side. — 8 years ago

Located in the limestone-rich Gavilan Mountains, east of Monterey. Josh Jensen planted Calera's first 23 acres of Pinot Noir in 1975. De Villiers, planted in 1997 on east-facing slopes high on Mt. Harlan. Third year of drought conditions lowered the yield in ‘14, aged for 20 months in new French oak (30% new). Intense aromas of dark berry fruits with rustic spice. Palate shows tart blackberry and dark cherry flavors with smoky tobacco, oak and subtle spice. Tight tannins, lingering complex ending, very nice. — 5 years ago
