Saturday, July 25, 2015 - Wow. This was my first Ceritas pinot from this vineyard and it might be my favorite. Some of the purest, fresh red fruit notes I have smelled on a pinot in a while. Just beautiful, fresh raspberry, strawberry and cranberry notes mixed with sweet spices, a bit of earth and a touch of forest floor. Stellar nose. Similar flavors on the palate with a real delicious factor but in a pure fruit way. You can barely tell this wine saw any oak and at under 13% abv, it is juicy and fresh but not thin and light by any means. This was really great and I am mad I only had one bottle of this!
