This was a solid Pinot from Santa Cruz from a producer I was not familiar with. Very well done, I need to try more of their offerings. — 4 months ago

An amazing, age defying wine that came alive with steelhead trout. No fruit, all mineral. Wonderful. — 2 years ago

This how really smoothed out with age and I really like it now. The acidity before I think was over powering. Delightful. — 4 months ago

@Norman Gennaro Very happy age brought you a positive experience. Up to now it has been my experience that Ceritas whites need time. The foundation for really good wines are there they just have to come together. I am hoping it was my note that motivated you to revisit their whites.

@Norman Gennaro If you have other bottles try to put 1 or 2 down for 10 + years.

@Ira Schwartz you were right! I have a habit of losing wines in my storage so 10+ can easily happen ;)

En Remilly Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2018

Lamy’s En Remilly is usually a wine I hold in higher regard, but this bottle was knocked back by a touch of… dare I say… premature oxidation. With Diam 30 and a thick white wax cap (plus a great track record), you can be sure this was again a function of bad cold chain in Malaysia. Sigh. Having said that, it was still a decent showing - loved the mineral saturation the wine displayed from start to finish. The nose was rich and still detailed with aromas of popcorn, wheat grain, iodine, pear, unripe pineapple, lanolin, and a tinge of mint as well as the dreaded oxidative musk. The palate was dense, saline, expectedly taut, and had a lovely texture that seemingly enveloped the tongue. The oxidative honey note was rather distracting in the finish, but a chill did help mask it. Actually superb with confited ocean trout, but I can’t help but feel robbed of the full enjoyment of this wine. — 3 years ago

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Quite nice with Pat’s grilled swordfish ($26). Will have to acquire more now that we have a local source.. Had again on 3/23/22 with trout. Quite nice. Would also work as an aperitif. — 3 years ago
