The 2011 Aligote offers up dried pears, hazelnuts and sweet spices. A broad-shouldered white, the 2011 impresses for its balance and overall harmony. The aromas and flavors are a little more complex than is typical for this grape, with less of the citrus like-brightness. Regardless, it is a gorgeous wine. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. Calera is clearly not in Napa Valley, but these current and upcoming releases are deserving of serious attention, hence their inclusion here.Tel. (831) 637-9170; www.calerawine.com
