Acidic attack with lots of oak on the nose. There's a touch of fruit hidden behind, but its way too oaky. A bitter and very spicy oaky finish (short though).

Harvested very ripe (Oct-Nov 2006) and shows hints of ripe tree fruit and even tropical fruit, but the most salient style is that luxurious, unctuous buttery style with spice, toffee and creamy oaky nuts, quite viscous and delicious

Calera's entry-level Chardonnay is sourced from vineyards in the Central Coast, and represents an excellent value for the region. Deep fruit character and layered complexity not often found at this price point, very impressive.

Calera produces organically grown Chardonnay grapes from the Mt. Harlan Vineyard. This wine is impressive for it's deft balance between bright fruit, crisp acid, and intriguing minerality.

Bright vibrant green with orange hue. Apricot, lemon blossom, nectarine and oak liven up the nose, leading to a thick, viscous mouthfeel on the palate. The finish here really never quits, carried by beautiful fruit and loads of new oak. Cellar this f... Cory Gowan. A Chardonnay wine from California in USA. 2010 Calera Chardonnay Mt Harlan 750ml

Clean, pure and complex, with a range of enticing flavors that echo spice, ripe apple and melon, with a light cedary edge. Drink now through 2015.
