Ceritas

Peter Martin Ray Vineyard Chardonnay 2019

Nice wine, but a bit less full and interesting than I was hoping. Slightly thin and almost a bit watery. Still nice refinement and a decent finish. — a month ago

Have had the same “what am I missing” experience with Ceritas. Perhaps just drinking too young…or not?

@Tyler Felous I’m not sure. I’ve had other bottlings - both younger and older - that I quite enjoyed. But for the price the variability is disappointing.

Agreed. Waiting on some of their new Cabernet bottlings. Optimistic 🤞

This is why they call it Oysterwater combining with fresh oysters at the sea in Cancale.

Jessie James Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Fell out of habit of delectable-ing but this terroir driven Willamette Pinot reminded me to keep documenting the yummmz! Clay, herbs, luxardo cherry (without the syrupy sweet). — 12 days ago

Crous St Martin

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2021

Classic CDP. Bright fruit, mellow tannins. And that certain chewiness that screams for a steak dinner. Hints of crushed pepper. Very balanced. — 25 days ago

Citrus, super grapefruit, white flowers, and so much slate. Superb palate, concentrated, rocky and huge acids and energy and such chewy citrus. Kerosene on the nose and awesome confectionary inner mouth aromas. — a month ago

Vieux Château Certan

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

Delectable Wine
9.6

The 2017 Vieux Château Certan was picked from September 12. This has a perfumed and quite floral bouquet with blackberries and violets. It shows lovely definition and mineralité, that hint of wild heather coming through but none of the previous menthol scents. The palate is exceptionally well-balanced with chiseled tannins, which are a perfect bead of acidity. I adore how this gathers momentum towards the lightly spiced, persistent finish. This shows better than when I tasted it just after bottling six years ago, hence my higher score. Tasted at the VCC vertical in Etikhove, Belgium. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2024)
