  Clear ruby red color with a clear edge, opened 60-75 minutes ahead of dinner. Pleasant red fruit and spice nose, deceivingly light on palate but with an intense level of mostly red berry fruit with notes of anise (couldn't detect any floral or rose As others have suggested), tannins were integrated and finished long with fruit and spice. This was our first bottle purchased upon release from Ceritas. It really was an excellent wine served with grilled porterhouse pork chops. Seems like it will age well.

  This wine has improved immensely over the past few years. It’s elegant but has some heft. The nose is captivating with berries, anise, and vanilla. Silky in the mouth with plum, black tea, and roses. Tannins are barely noticeable but they are there to provide structure. I always felt Ceritas’ strength was with its Chardonnay but this is gorgeous.

  Medium ruby, transparent. Subtle and exotic on the nose - showing sandalwood, pomegranate, black tea, dried hibiscus, clove, vanilla bean and hints of anise. Elegant palate with great purity in its expression - layered fig & pomegranate and pressed red florals over a dense core of iron earth and spices, gaining volume through the middle. Great integration structurally, with vibrant but rounded acid and fine dense tannins and nice zesty length on the finish. In a great place, still plenty of youth to this.

  Opened for an hour with a glass poured off. Bright fruit with a juicy finish. Light on its feet. Wonderful purity to it.
