2009. Intake is tasting great. Smooth soft tannins yet complex with plum and spice that lingers with dark chocolate and sweetness. — 3 months ago
A fantastic bottling that is rich, bright and delicate at the same time. Fully integrated with lovely smoky and mineral notes. Long elegant finish.
The winery note states full development by 2022. Agreed but should have staying power for another 4-5 years. — 2 months ago

Part of my brothers 60th birthday present direct from the Mount Mary cellars. Amazing. So delicate with an endless complex palate. — 7 months ago

this is my one my favorites from Calera, great but I think would benefit by a couple more years of aging — 4 years ago
Really solid california chardonnay that gives you all that you want in this varietal from that region. Light golden color. Has a toasty and slightly oxidized nose that gives way to tropical fruits. Mostly pineapple. Great structure, strong acidity but not biting. More tropical flavors inside with vanilla, some lemon butter, and a nice oak finish. — 2 months ago
4th wine of BYOB blind. Very light with a slight effervescence, leading us to call this as a natty pinot. Was surprised it was such a classic. Have had Mt Eden Pinot before and this was not in the same neighborhood of depth/forest floor. Alas, not my favorite vintage — 4 months ago

The color and nose painted a promising picture but there wasn't much structure left. it was still pleasurable to drink. Just a few years past it's peak.. — 6 months ago
1hr+ decant and could have used more. Dark red color. Interesting nose with metallic, medicinal tones that tingled my nose. Wine has massive strawberry and cassis; and is sweeter than I was expecting. Very concentrated. The tannins reduce with ample air and the spicy aspects dissipate with time as well making it more approachable. Medium finish. — 3 years ago
