Beautiful and very Anderson Valley. The strawberry, rhubarb, plum and cherry fruit is deep, dark, layered and rich without being heavy or jammy at all. Crushed velvet. A little mocha and cola, and of course soil tones as this is Ceritas after all

Jul 11th, 2021Gorgeous wine really singing right now. The mocha notes right off the bat are incredible. I wish I had the discipline to lay these down for longer, but Jon makes some of the best Pinots in the New World, in my opinion.

Apr 10th, 2020Took this old friend to trivia night and came home a winner. Hands down one of my favorite Pinot Noir sites in the Ceritas program. This wine is so true in its smells and tastes of place.

Nov 3rd, 2018Also outstanding, this was much more layered than the Occidental Pinto we started with, and had much stronger acidity which made it perfect with some rich entrees. Cherries and plums with some earthy notes, medium bodied.

Aug 14th, 2018Wow; a totally different beast all together. More dank earth and funk on the nose of this one - underbrush and spices. Palate is creamy and smooth, crunchy berry fruit, darker toned. Nutmeg, Cassis. Great.
