2023 Ceritas, Mondego Ridge Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains

" Coming from Santa Crus Mountains, the 2023 Pinot Noir Mindego Ridge is a bright transparent red color and is vibrant, spicy, and true to this vintage. It smells like Braulio, with crazy cool aromatics of Amaro fresh herbs, orange peel, fresh spices, compact red berries, and cranberries. The palate is fantastically fresh and pure, floating on the palate with refined, well-defined tannins and an even feel with a floating finish. It’s incredibly complex and haunting. Drink this over the coming 15 or more years." Jeb Dunnuck 96
