I have to hand it to Calera winemaker Mike Waller, this wine speaks softly, but exudes class. Made from an 11-acre vineyard of 4 hilltops at around 2,000 ft. elevation that Josh Jensen planted with a suitcase clone quaintly described as the "Calera selection," this wine is a California classic year in, year out. It has generous, expressive black cherry, mulberry, conifer, and oyster mushroom notes with a hint of soy sauce and limestone. The oak is so perfectly integrated that you barely notice it at all. Effortly impressive. (96 Points)
