Ceritas made their first wine in 2005 and immediately set their sail as one of the finest proponents of cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in America. They have twelve sites that they source from today in Sonoma and Santa Cruz, not necessarily owned by, but all under Ceritas control. All farmed organically or bio-dynamically. They have noted that disease pressure is higher towards the coast and there is almost none as you go inland towards Dry Creek Valley, most of their vineyards are thus 3-6 miles inland from the coast. The further away from the coast they look for vineyards facing away from the sun and the opposite closer to the coast.

One of the most concentrated, powerful vintages of Elliott we have seen in many years. The hallmarks of the site are there, but seem elevated – dark, brooding fruits and grippy tannin. An overarching sense of balance remains, driven by a lively core of freshness. This will benefit greatly from a long nap in a cool cellar.
