Calera, Ryan Pinot Noir other_regions_australia Very generous wood and menthol

Very generous wood and menthol elements are borderline invasive on the liqueur- like aromas of baked plum

definitely makes up for the lost ground

black cherry

with terrific acids that linger on the finish in mouthwatering fashion

I very much like the sense of proportion and balance here plus the overall quality is stunning for a villages level wine

Calera, Ryan Pinot Noir other_regions_australia Very generous wood and mentholFrom one of the cooler terroirs on the estate, the 2012 Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard offers full bodied richness and depth to go with ample sweet black cherries, cassis, sassafras, crushed flowers and toasted spice. A decidedly hedonistic, full throttled example of this cuvee, this superb Pinot Noir firms up nicely on the finish and has a full, layered mid palate. Drink it now, or cellar it for a decade.
