From a 4.8 parcel of vines planted in pure limestone soils, the medium ruby-hued 2006 Pinot Noir Selleck Vineyard exhibits notes of tomato skins, red cherries, and pomegranates, medium body, and more staying power and length than any of the previous cuvees. Nevertheless, it is a relatively lightweight effort for Calera. It should be consumed over the next 5-6 years. In retrospect, 2006 does not appear to be a very strong vintage for Calera Pinot Noir, but the wines are complex, approachable, and very Burgundian. In a completely different style, the more concentrated 2005s exhibit deeper color as well as more texture, depth, and length. This is a vintage for Calera that should age beautifully for 15 or more years, given the winery’s history of its top vintages aging brilliantly.Tel. (831) 637-9170; Fax (831) 637-9070

Not quite up there with the ’05, but certainly better than the ’04, this wine shows softly ripe flavors of cherries, raspberries and red currants, with complexities of mocha, vanilla, bacon, pepper and sandalwood. Beautiful now and for the next 3–5 years.——S.H.(12/1/2009)—— 90
