Nice sipper First time with this wine Not the fruit forward oak bomb I was anticipating Curious notes of flat cola Hint of spice on the finish Went well with a pork roast

Drank with the 2012 Escarpa Incredibly feminine and silky Doesn't give up much on the nose Palate is tasty but a hint lean Finishes longer than the Escarpa Probably great with fish (light enough for even sushi) Both excellent bottles, just depends on what you're in the mood for

2012 Ceritas Pinot Noir Escarpa Vineyard

Opened together with the 2012 Hellenthal
Smokey, meatier with more flavor
Probably has the legs to age better than the Hellenthal
Clipped finish
