2020 Calera Mt. Harlan Pinot Noir Jensen Vineyard
At more than 40 years old, the coveted old vines of Jensen Vineyard have produced a stunning wine that offers depth, elegance and luxurious complexity.

About the Vineyard
Calera's Mt. Harlan Vineyards, situated in the Gabilan Mountains 25 miles east of Monterey Bay, were selected for their limestone soils and ideal climate. With an average elevation of 2,200 feet, they rank among the highest and coolest vineyard sites in California.
Why Choose Calera?
The Jensen Vineyard, one of the original three parcels planted by legendary winemaker Josh Jensen, was established in 1975. By 1978, these parcels, including the Jensen Vineyard, produced their first small crop. In 2013, Wine Spectator spotlighted Josh Jensen, highlighting the numerous obstacles he overcame to establish Calera winery and vineyards on Mt. Harlan, and recognizing him for making Calera one of California's top Pinot producers
Behind the Name...
