Ceritas, Pinot Noir "Costalina" West Sonoma Coast, California 2022

Practicing organic Pinot Noir from a blend of vineyards across West Sonoma Coast. Hand harvested, with an average of ~20% whole cluster. All neutral oak. 16 months on lees; full malo.

A brilliant garnet color. Costalina offers a beautiful aromatic richness packed with saturated red fruit. On the palate, noble tannin and vibrant freshness frame flavors of cranberry, fresh raspberry, and Rainier cherry. A tribute to everything delicious about young coastal Pinot Noir.

Ceritas Wines began its winemaking journey in 2005, founded by the visionary John Raytek and a dedicated team with an intimate knowledge of the northern California coastal regions. This collective of passionate individuals, deeply connected to areas like West Sonoma Coast, Santa Cruz Mountains, Moon Mountain, and Napa, considers their wines a true reflection of both the land and themselves.

At Ceritas, the vineyards are revered as teachers, with the winemakers as devoted students. The philosophy revolves around listening, learning, and adapting to each site and vintage, allowing the vineyard’s authentic expression to shine. While they maintain a deep respect for tradition, Ceritas’ winemaking is flexible, inspired by the land and the season, rather than the effects of human intervention.
