2009 Calera Pinot Noir Mills Vineyard

Overall impression: a bit disjointed at this juncture.  

I had this wine several years ago shortly after release and thought it had too much alcohol (14.9%).  I still think so several years later. 

The tannins have resolved a bit, the aromatics have developed, and there is nice fruit up front complemented by classic Mt. Harlan minerality ...but is eclipsed by a finish that is too warm. Time will tell if it will come around.
