This priced-to-sell appellation blend gives hints of what the single-vineyard expressions can do in a more accessible manner. Aromas of pomegranate, green peppercorn and oregano decorate the nose. The palate shows baked plum and strawberry flavors as well as Calera's telltale showing of terpene-laden herbs like bay leaf and marjoram.

Bright wild strawberry aromatics with wildflowers and mint open this entry-level Calera with a fantastic French countryside fruit character. The palate is bright, with dollops of red fruits but a hint of phenolic character followed by wild garrigue notes.
