ElevenEleven Pinot Noir Calesa 2022 750ml

Product Info

• Aromas: Opens with an intricate, expressive bouquet of ripe red cherries and lush red berries, subtly layered with sweet nuances of vanilla, warm baking spices, and toasty French oak. 
• Palate: Elegant and silky. The initial punch of bright, rich red fruit evolves gracefully on the mid-palate, introducing a more nuanced, sophisticated spectrum of black tea, dried spices, and an earthy minerality. 
• Structure & Finish: Supported by a vibrant backbone of balanced acidity and fine-grained, integrated tannins. The seamless framework yields a plush, smooth texture that stretches into a long, remarkably poised finish. 

• The Vineyard: Sourced entirely from the prestigious Calesa Vineyard in the Petaluma Gap AVA. The site's intense wind and marine fog ensure slow grape ripening, giving Pinot Noir its signature bright acidity and thick, flavor-packed skins. 
• Composition: 100% Pinot Noir. 
• Oak Regime: Aged for 16 months in 100% French oak barrels, of which 40% were brand new to impart a subtle vanilla and spice frame without overwhelming the delicate fruit.
• Production & Analytics:
  • Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 14.8%
  • Volume: Limited production of just 567 cases 

• Serving Temperature: Best served slightly cool at 55–60°F to allow the delicate berry fruit aromatics and complex black tea notes to balance beautifully against the alcohol level.
• Ideal Pairings: Pairs excellently with pan-seared duck breast with a cherry reduction, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, cedar-plank salmon, or earthy wild mushroom risotto.
