Josh Jensen's quest to find limestone terroir for California Pinot Noir led him to Mount Harlan in 1974, where he discovered one of California's only significant limestone deposits at 2,200-2,500 feet elevation. The Reed Vineyard, planted in 1975 and named for early partner William G. Reed Sr., sits on this limestone with a northern exposure—always Calera's last vineyard to ripen, yielding aromatic complexity and seamlessly integrated tannins. The 2010 harvest from November 6-11 shows underbrush and sweet spice with elegant textural depth and building tannins. This is terroir-driven California Pinot, the product of Jensen's uncompromising philosophy of minimal intervention in the winery and hands-off native yeast fermentation.

"An admirably pure and airy nose displays plenty of floral character to the pretty mix of red pinot and raspberry aromas where there is again a top note of cranberry. The supple, round and utterly delicious middle weight flavors possess solid complexity and simply terrific persistence on the balanced finish. This is probably the most refined effort in the range in 2010, indeed I would describe it as a wine of finesse."

Antonio Galloni

"Vivid red. Zesty redcurrant and cherry aromas are complicated by pungent herbs and dried rose. Spicy and precise, with very good lift and cut to its bitter cherry and red berry compote flavors. Finishes smooth and gently sweet, with supple tannins shaping the clinging finish. This pinot fills out very nicely with aeration, suggesting that it's a strong cellar candidate." —Josh Raynolds

"The 2010 Pinot Noir Reed Vineyard, which was harvested from November 6th through November 11th, offers up loads of underbrush and sweet spice to go with medium-bodied, elegant and textured palate that shares the same integration and balance of all of this estate’s wines. A beautiful bottle of wine, with a weightless feel and building tannin, it should be enjoyed over the coming decade." —Jeb Dunnuck

Wine Enthusiast

"As usual, this is one of Calera's lightest bottlings, in both color and texture. It's deceptively simple, showing softened cola and raspberry jam flavors that finish impressively long and spicy. It would be a mistake to dismiss it for early drinking."
