Ceritas

Peter Martin Ray Vineyard Chardonnay 2019

Nice wine, but a bit less full and interesting than I was hoping. Slightly thin and almost a bit watery. Still nice refinement and a decent finish. — 19 days ago

Have had the same “what am I missing” experience with Ceritas. Perhaps just drinking too young…or not?

@Tyler Felous I’m not sure. I’ve had other bottlings - both younger and older - that I quite enjoyed. But for the price the variability is disappointing.

Agreed. Waiting on some of their new Cabernet bottlings. Optimistic 🤞

Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Better than the last bottle I had. Think age helps this but it continues to be a “limited” cab. Nose provides an array of dark berries, some leather, and even hints of bbq. The mid palate and beyond still feels a bit weak and lagging the complexity of the nose - almost a bit watery. Tannins are medium and definitely mellowing. Have to give a shout out to Mark Thomas glasses - the best and bring out so many more flavors! — 6 months ago

Sonoma Coast Rosé of Pinot Noir

Great rosé with a light blush color fruity upfront with a very slight bitterness toward the end the bitterness is not bad though and reminiscent a bitter melon. To me it’s a bit heavy for a rosé but pairs very well with food especially cheeses and spicy food.  — 3 years ago

Domaine Ray-Jane

Bandol Rosé Mourvedre Blend 2016

Fruit, earth, good structure, perhaps a slight hint of Brett but in a good way — 9 days ago

Synthesis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Consistently good Cabernet Savignon w/ a little Merlot, also Napa.

When your fruit is sourced from Oak Knoll district, Rutherford, Mount Veeder, Diamond Mountain District, Stags Leap District, and Howell Mountain, the result should be excellent and flavorful. It is.

I like them with age so agree completely.

Ray-Monde Vineyard Pinot Noir

This is gorgeous! Ticks so many Pinot Noir boxes on the nose and palate. Sexy primary cherry fruit, ethereal, complex, earthy notes and slightly stemmy structure. Nice work Josh! 👍🏽👍🏽🍷🍷👌🏽👌🏽 — 6 months ago

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2022

Consumed 01/2024. Did not have it with any food, just sipped on it by itself.  The bottle describes it as bright with complex fruit, subtle spices and silky, refined tannins. 13.9 % ALC by VOL — 9 months ago
