A juicy mid palate with earthy, spicy and toasty flavors wrap up into a tight mineral texture and refined tannins. Food Pairing: Calis Cuvée is a versatile and exceedingly food friendly. A perfect match for anything from the grill, including salmon, pork chops or chicken. Great with hamburgers. Also pairs beautifully with roast chicken, root vegetables, or perfect on its own. The flagship Pinot Noir from Left Coast Cellars. A true snapshot of our terroir and a window to our estate, combining all the blocks and different clonal selections from our vineyard. Named in honor of Cali, our owners daughter, the wine displays bright red fruit flavors, and a freshness that can only be found in the Willamette Valley.
