Very lively acidity, fruit is just starting to peak out. These are much bigger wines than the ‘13 which drank well early. Let em sit another year and then drink them over the next 5 or 6.

Damn this is showing so well from the last bottle I had. Same purity and lift with more fruit and spice coming too the forefront. Love that mix of black cherry and cool blue-fruit framed by sweet spice and violet. Always respect someone who puts so much care into their "entry" level wine.

Lovely elegant wine I enjoyed at Farmshop in Larkspur! Silky soft integrated tannins but not lacking verve. Pretty fruit and first time I've had it and won't be last!

May 24th, 2017Still needs a good 2hr decant. High toned fruit, light bodied with rose pedal, raspberry, and spice. Trademark Ceritas acidity with no oak but medium tannins. These are great values, but they benefit with 3-4 yrs in the cellar.

Apr 24th, 2017These need to chill for just a couple years. This one is already better than when I opened one on release. Nice dark fruit, spice, and crackling acidity. On day 2 it picked up weight, but retained tons of fruit and that acidity.

Crisp, bright red fruit. Certainly on the Burgundian side of Cali Pinot. Good acidity, light bodied. Young but appealing . Very flavorful & keeps opening up.

Nov 20th, 2016Costalina is a great drinker vintage after vintage. My first '14 and this one has been in the decanter for 3 hrs and its still tight. These are best after a year in the cellar, but its hard to make them last that long.

Bright red fruit. It’s got that Sonoma sugariness, balanced with acid and smooth tannins. Approachable, but looking forward to revisiting later.
