I bought this after reading princeofpinot review; my first experience with this wine. Lately I have been drinking Kistler/ Occidental, Marcassin, Aubert and a few random Calera pinots and the Suduri was a bit different in character; seemed more burgundian in style. Was elegant, but less fruit forward than Kistler et.al , more restrained? Reminded me of a few Rochhioli West Blocks and early Williams Selyem from years gone by. A very nice pinot at any price point and I wish I had more of it. — 9 years ago
Hi friends! We're excited to announce the launch of the 2013 Reuling Vineyard Pinot Noir and our new #ClonalCollection, which includes three bottles of the traditional Pinot Noir blend as well as one bottle of each of Reuling Vineyard’s three individual clones: Calera and two different “suitcase” clones from the Vosne-Romanée region of Burgundy. More on our website! — 9 years ago

Huge tannic stemmy with fruit leather character. As if calera made a Syrah. Needs time. — 8 years ago

Not a Kenneth Volk but a new Pinot in the Calera lineup. Very nice now, but with a few more years, it will be even better — 8 years ago
Always balanced. Understated and excellent. — 8 years ago
If guess a feminine plot of the Côte de Beaune in a warm vintage -in the best sense. Only Josh Jensen. Sheesh! Delicious... — 9 years ago
On the nose: Strong anise, slight leather, hot; however, it's mis-leading as the alcohol disappears on the palate and gives way to a stunningly silky texture. Light bodied with a slight hint of vanilla, back licorice and fresh leather dominating throughout the finish. The Calera clone has a wanton mouthfeel and a celestial body making her a devilish temptress. — 10 years ago
2007 was fun. — 10 years ago
Different from all Pinot noirs I've had so far. Very subdued acidity. Gentle and complex tongue. Slightly heavier than medium body. Extremely well balanced. Long finish. Awesome wine. Probably my favorite red so far. Looking to try more wines from this winery. — 12 years ago

Light garnet color fading to amber rim. Lovely nose of damp earth, wild cherry, cola, and cloves. Mid-weight and elegant on the palate with long spicy finish. Made from a barrel selection of four clones in the vineyard: Dijon 115 & 667, Vosne-Romanée, and Calera aged 21 months in neutral French oak. — 7 years ago
