Note di degustazione
The 2023 Pinot Noir Hellenthal Old Shop Block is seriously beautiful. Dark, vivid and exceptionally refined, the 2023 is immediately captivating right out of the gate. Dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and blood orange fill out the layers. The 2023 is dark and imposing, but not at all heavy. It's an archetype for the West Sonoma Coast. Superb.

A youthful red color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Hellenthal Old Shop Block is a more enveloping wine, with more notes of mossy earth and ripe black raspberries. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied but rounded and supple, with a silky texture and an enveloping feel. Tasted as a barrel sample, it’s more primary at this stage, but I sensed an underlying savoriness. Drink after 2025.

The team from Ceritas are continuing to push the bar steadily higher, never resting on their laurels. The 2023 range from them is not to be missed.
