1996 Calera, Jensen Vineyard, Mt. Harlan Pinot noir (Central Coast, Mt. Harlan AVA, California)

Brownish edges, great gamey nose with caramel overtones and layers of cherry and strawberry fruits. Excellent mouth-filling feel, lots of plumy fruits, especially raspberry and currants, accented with tons of spice cake and an edgy earthiness. Powerful acids on the finish, fresh and full tannins. Tremendous character, very burgundian, superb!

(Tasting the wine this morning it showed more figs and dried cherry notes . . . still quite fresh and very satisfying . . . quite a breakfast wine!)
