Selleck Vineyard

2200'
SW
limestone
planted 1975
This exceptional 4.8 acre Pinot Noir vineyard is planted on a rocky south/southwest facing slope. With its great sun exposure, this vineyard yields our most concentrated fruit, albeit in tiny quantities, generally only slightly more than one ton to the acre. The vineyard was planted in 1975 and is named after Dr. George Selleck, a friend of Josh's father who introduced Josh to his first fine wines.
Wines from the Selleck Vineyard are usually the most complex and dense of the four single-vineyard Pinot Noirs made by Calera. Magnificently perfumed, full of the classic Burgundian entangled mysteries of cherry and plum, wild raspberry and blackberry, toast and cinnamon spice. The flavors are deep, with black fruits, spice and mint all present in these rich, full-bodied wines. The Selleck Vineyard is rockier and contains more limestone than the others; its wine seems to have the greatest aging potential.
