The 2005 Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard is one of the more closed and earthy wines of the vintage, with notes of root beer, damp earth, pomegranate, plum, licorice, and roasted herbs. It is elegant, rich, ripe, and medium to full-bodied with sweet tannins, but it is backward and in need of a good 2-3 years of bottle age. In retrospect, 2006 does not appear to be a very strong vintage for Calera Pinot Noir, but the wines are complex, approachable, and very Burgundian. In a completely different style, the more concentrated 2005s exhibit deeper color as well as more texture, depth, and length. This is a vintage for Calera that should age beautifully for 15 or more years, given the winery’s history of its top vintages aging brilliantly. Tel. (831) 637-9170; Fax (831) 637-9070

This isn’t the best Ryan Calera has produced over the years. The wine is a little sweet and direct in cherry, raspberry, currant and cola flavors, and while the acids and tannins are just fine, it doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere. Drink now.——S.H.(6/1/2008)—— 86
