About the wine:
A hint of smokiness emerges on the nose, accompanied by red cherries and a promise of richness. Further aeration reveals floral notes. The wine is highly concentrated, with very fine tannins. It is powerful, featuring ripe, juicy cherries, and full of vibrancy, with very structured tannins. The 20-year-old vines spent 16 months in 25% new French oak.

About the wine:
The 2021 Calvert Pinot Noir is a highly aromatic wine, with notes of flowers, wild herbs, fennel, and licorice, which create interesting nuances alongside the red cherry and raspberry flavors that emerge on the finish. The tannins are refined and seem to coat the palate with a finesse reminiscent of cocoa powder. The finish is long and lingering, with a taut acidity.
