I do not tire of Calera's single vineyard offerings (Calera, Mills and Selleck). They almost never disappoint, and they all have their own distinct flair. This vintage of Mills is really hitting a fine stride, showing brilliant, fresh blueberry, boysenberry and cherry fruit with a hint of minerality and some baking spices on the finish. It's not to hard, not too soft, not too fruity, not too savory - just brilliant. It comes from a site at 2,200 ft. in elevation from Mt. Harlan with 14 1/2 acres planted to the original Calera clone that Josh Jensen brought back from France. The vineyard was first planted in 1984. This is a stunning wine. (97 Points)
