Today we're excited to feature two exceptional Pinot Noirs from Ceritas Wines, one of California's most acclaimed producers of site-driven Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Several months ago, we acquired the remaining inventory our distributor had available of two standout 2022 bottlings: the 2022 Trout Gulch Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz Mountains and the 2022 Cuvée Chloe Pinot Noir from the West Sonoma Coast. Both wines perfectly illustrate why Ceritas has earned such a devoted following among collectors and sommeliers alike.

Ceritas has built its reputation on transparency and restraint in the cellar, focusing instead on meticulous vineyard work and allowing each site to express itself with clarity and precision. Rather than imposing a winemaking signature, founders John Raytek and Phoebe Bass strive to capture the unique character of every vineyard they farm.

While 2022 proved to be a challenging vintage across much of California due to significant heat events, these remarkably cool-climate vineyards were largely spared from the extreme temperature spikes that affected many of the state's growing regions. The result is a pair of beautifully balanced, terroir-driven Pinot Noirs that showcase freshness, elegance, and remarkable site expression.
