Merchant's description

Calera Jensen Vineyard Pinot Noir 1985 is a mature-vintage, single-vineyard red wine from the Central Coast region of California. Calera is a pioneer of wines made from Burgundy varieties in the Mount Harlan AVA of California. Produced from old Pinot Noir vines planted on limestone soil at around 600m elevation in California`s Gabilan Mountains, Jensen Vineyard is a Pinot that strikes a fine balance between power and elegance. On the 1985. "The 1985 Pinot Noir Jensen Vineyard is another terrific wine from the mid-1980s. Although not as complex or nuanced as the 1986 or the 1987, the 1985 still has a lot going on. Sweet tobacco, mint, dried cherries and anise are some of the many notes that open up on the finish. All things considered, the 1985 has held up well." Vinous, 2015
