2021 Calera "de Villiers" Mt. Harlan Pinot Noir
96
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2021 Pinot Noir de Villiers Vineyard is one of the bigger, richer, darker-fruited wines in the lineup, and it's built for the cellar. Currants, blackberries, spicy oak, and roasted herb notes all define this beauty, and it has a Grand Cru Burgundy-like richness and depth. With extended air (I followed this bottle for multiple days), it shows a classic, balanced, medium to full-bodied style and has ripe, integrated tannins and acidity, as well as a gorgeous finish. I'd be thrilled with bottles in the cellar. It deserves at least 4-6 years of bottle age, and it's going to see its 20th birthday, if not 30th, in fine form.
