Tasting at Ceritas (Healdsburg, California): Dull medium ruby core. Complex aromas of sous bois, ripe cherry, and a whiff of ethyl acetate which receded. Medium weight but it feels bigger and quite rich. Candied cherry and black fruit, lively acids, and a strong soil finish. Serious wine that is not entirely ready. Impressive acidic structure to handle the ripeness of the fruit.

A night with neighborhood friends: Beware if you're looking for subtlety. You won't find it here. So bold, one guest guessed Cab. For me, an obvious but very generous Pinot Noir. Good complexity and density, it expresses the hot, dry vintage.

Black cherry, apricot, and herbs de Provence. Deep fruit and good structure, and a good percentage of whole clusters is evident, for this lovely 13.1% Sonoma Coast Pinot.

Very different than a bottle a year ago. This one has a burst of sour cherry, but a thin mid palate that leads to a strong finish.

Great now. A bit more faded than I would have guessed it would be on day two; not sure if peaked…
