The 2012 Jensen is one of the most expressive young Calera Pinot Noirs in some time, showing an intense floral note and deep raspberry aroma. On the palate the wine is rich and dense, with a note of spice and excellent persistence through the finish. Calera Pinots are renowned for their longevity and often take a number of years to come around, but the 2012 Jensen most likely will continue to drink beautifully in this youthful state, and for many years to come.
