Saturated ruby-black in hue, the 2014 Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard reveals a rich bouquet of plum preserve, cassis and asphalt, followed by an assertively firm palate that's carrying a significant payload of stem tannin, but which also possesses a deep core of dark, crunchy fruit and concentration. If everything rounds out with time, this will be a magical wine, as its raw materials are impressive, but for now, it's very hard to read. This was harvested between September 4-10—early by the standards of this, Calera's highest-altitude vineyard—and cropped at a tiny yield of 0.81 tons per acre. 2021-2033
