The 2013 Calista Pinot Noir is lush and well-designed. The wine drinks ultra-smoothly while possessing excellent ripe fruit and savory leaves in the flavors. The silky finish pairs it well now with a honey-basted tenderloin of pork. (Tasted: February 2, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

The mythical Greek Goddess Calista was a huntress who possessed grace, seductive charm and strength above all rivals. Inspired by Calista, or "most beautiful" in Greek, Calista has created an alluring wine that captures her essence drawn from the most exceptional Pinot Noir vineyards.
The Coast Range of California is a stretch of mountains that parallels the Pacific Ocean from Mendocino County in Northern California 400 miles south to Santa Barbara. These geologically young mountains, known as “The Great Coast Range”, are comprised of crushed, creased, and folded sea floor pushed up some 30 million years ago. The maritime climate and the unique soil structure across the range create optimum vineyard conditions for growing world-class Pinot Noir.
Calista’s winemaker chose three of California’s finest regions along the Coast Range for Calista: Mendocino County, Monterey County and Sonoma County. Each area lends a distinctive character to our signature blend.
