The rigid structure carries the finish, leaving a chalky, mouthwatering echo. With the fruit to match its matrix, this should be a beauty at its peak.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points Vinous: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"Broad-shouldered and edgy, the Calera 2021 Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard is a forceful, imposing Pinot with inky, spicy blue\/black fruit buried beneath a shield of mountain tannin. Muscle and power are the hallmarks of this site, \u003cstrong\u003eand the 2021 delivers all that and more\u003c\/strong\u003e.
