Calera Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard 2003 (Mt. Harlan)

Very light rose color.

Restrained aromatics - strawberry/cherry and earth/spice/underbrush, hazelnut.
This was completely unimpressive 2 hours ago, but is gaining aromatic complexity with air time.


Decent breadth in the mouth, but there is an acid (or is it a stem contribution?) that keeps the flavors bound up. A slight green note suggests considerable stem inclusion here. This may be far better than it is currently showing. Or not.


Day 2 - This sucks.


$40
