I agree with some of the statements below, great wine but I don’t think it’s 100% Carignane — 9 months ago

Cave Dwellers Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah 2018
The Syrah adds such great mid palatte to the wine. Not enough cab/Syrah blends. — a year ago

Ceritas
Porter-Bass Vineyard Chardonnay 2012
The best California Chardonnay I have consumed. I will say it, grand cru like .
Complexity on every level. Every part of what makes up a wine melded perfectly to create this classic. Fruit and acid like Fred & Ginger. Purchased on release.. While I enjoyed my other bottles several years back this was on a different level. When I tasted this on release I wrote , has everything it needs just needs to sort itself out. — 7 months ago
Tasted at Ceritas last week. Great experience! Unfortunately John R and Phoene Bass separated and he bought out her share of Ceritas. I imagine that also led to the Bass family no longer supplying Ceritas with their fruit.
On a positive note, it was wonderful to taste some older vintages of their wines and buy some library wines at reasonable markups. Highly recommend a visit!
@Kamall very happy to hear you had a great time. Sad to hear about their separation.

New vintage for me and its feels very familiar. Lots of fresh and ripe berries with a full but balanced body. Cheers. — a month ago
