Calera, Ryan Pinot Noir other_regions_italy sweet and seamless on theFrom 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.
