I’ve had a few different Ceritas wines, but not all. This was my first experience with their entry level Marena Chardonnay.
If this is what age can do for this type of wine, I can’t imagine what their single vineyards show like with time. I expected this to show well, but didn’t expect it to show really well! Right out of the gate, a small hint of matchstick, sweet honeysuckle, and grilled lemon aromatically. High quality Chablis-like on the palate. Not sure of oak use, but it’s not steely. There’s mineral-like vibes to it, but everything comes back to underripe tropical fruit and meyer lemons. Drank it alongside other wines, but food would make it shine. — 8 months ago

Rich, intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, cassis, black olive, tapenade, mint, baking spice, vanilla, cedar, dried violet, leather and earth. Great finesse with plenty of tannin that is silky and polished. The alcohol is well balanced with the pronounced flavors a lovely wine. — 20 days ago
