February 18, 2024 - Light straw gold, flinty citrus nose, medium-bodied, almost architectural with clean precision and a very long finish that turns creamy with air. Wow. Each time I try a wine from Ceritas I am not only pleasantly surprised but grateful; these folks know what they’re doing!

April 22, 2023 - Pale golden color. Not overly expressive on the nose with some some golden apple and lemon/citrus notes coming through. Similar flavors on the palate with high acidity and a slightly tart finish. The wine seems to be missing a bit of mouthfeel that I usually get in Ceritas chards and almost comes across a bit sharp. Will give my remaining two bottles a few more years to see if they pickup some complexity but right now, this is a poor QPR.

August 28, 2022 - Real tight on opening - needed a night of being open and half empty in the fridge to show nice yellow (lemon) fruit with the wonderful balance ceritas is known for.

August 6, 2022 - Same as the last bottle. It has a very pleasant nose but lacks acidity and that extra something....
