2023 Calera Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir Muns Vineyard
750ml$54
The Santa Cruz Mountains followed the broader rhythm of the 2023 vintage, with a long, wet winter giving way to a later, even growing season. Perched 2,500 feet above sea level and above the fog line, Muns Vineyard enjoyed abundant sunshine and moderate temperatures. Harvest arrived just two weeks later than usual, yielding beautifully balanced fruit bursting with blackberry character, vibrant acidity, and ideal ripeness.
