Pale to medium ruby purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Califa gives up smoked cranberries, warm wild blackberries, blood orange, dried earth and a classy framing of new oak spice with nuances of dried orange peel, dried rose petals and autumn leaves. The palate is medium-bodied, silky and intense with a great interplay of bright fruits, spices and earth character. It has a frame of finely grained tannins and very well-woven juicy acidity, finishing long and lifted.
