  Alvin's. I own some Caleras (including this vintage) and found it interesting to taste one blind, as I could instantly rule out Sonoma, Sonoma Coast, Anderson Valley and Napa in favor of somewhere further south, but it didn't seem as far south as SLH either. Mt. Harlan never occurred to me. Medium taupe-y red color and as others have said, a little unusual but also attractive and at peak.

  Just a delicious PN at its peak. Drink up now. Lovely red fruit flavors that race through your mouth. Notes of black tea, and some tar. Great wine.
  
  
  
  Leftovers for dinner.

  The note below describes it well. Often, from this house, we’ve picked up a somewhat muddy coffee profile that we find a bit off-putting. Although there was a hint of that here, it worked as a feature, not a bug. Quite enjoyable over four nights, gassed in between. We agree that this is probably at prime drinking condition.

  Drank over six hours.
  Pale, translucent Garnet in color. Medium-minus body.
  Floral notes. Red fruit. Wet fabric. A hint of moss.
  Silky smooth. Lovely acidity. Long finish. Fairground candy covered apple. Definitely at its peak. I would drink up now. Fantastic wine. So well made.
