2023 Ceritas, 'Trout Gulch' Pinot Noir

Darker fruits, bordering on purple, jump out of the glass like fireworks, combining with a savory edge classic to Santa Cruz. The palate reminds us of a perfect blood orange – mild phenolic bitterness wrapped up in mouthwatering red fruit. The tannins are in a perfect spot, firm but never overbearing. All together, an excercise in balance. Stunning.
