I'm not sure I would guess this at 6 years. Lots of bright fruit, plenty of freshness and perfume, just starting to show those wonderful earthy notes. Integrated texture. Smooth and refined.

Have had a somewhat mixed experience with Ceritas wines of late but this Pinot is truly excellent. The raspberry and cherry hits your nose right away, but in a deep balanced way. Quite savory, with a lightness on the palate that at first made me feel this was less serious than it is, but with air fills out to more complexity. Very long finish with great acid. Delicious.

Delicious. So fresh, beautiful fruit, incredibly elegant. Basically no tannin whatsoever, which makes me wonder about longevity.

Really opened up on day 2. Fun getting I to these wines. Gentle fruit and growing minerality.
