"Rich black licorice and white pepper aromas. A syrupy entry leads to a moderately sweet medium-full body with aniseed and hot white pepper flavors. Finishes with a licorice, pepper, and chalk fade and tongue numbing warmth. Nice pure flavor and peppery intensity will impress in shots or cut through cocktails."

"Pale sunshine yellow color with fresh ?oral, citrus and melon aromas with hints of almonds. An unoaked, dry, medium bodied white wine with crisp acidity, the Arneis is well-balanced, elegant wine with good complexity and a lingering ?nish."

"Calera’s 2011 Pinot Noir Central Coast wafts from the glass with freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries and mint. This is a fairly laid-back vintage for the wine, with less of the pure breed of the 2009 and 2010, but frankly that may be an unfair comparison as those wines were superb over achievers. The 2011 is more an inline performer. The tense, saline finish laced with pretty floral and spiced notes is lovely."
