Tasting notes
The 2022 Pinot Noir Ceras has intense, nuanced aromas of strawberry, Italian plum, damp earth, tobacco and floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled, combining highly concentrated flavors with silky tannins. It’s balanced by vibrant acidity and has a long, spicy finish. It opens dramatically with air and will benefit from time in the cellar.

Displaying a medium ruby red color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Ceras is savory and elegant, with notes of salty earth, wild strawberries, windswept herbs, crushed stones, and wildflowers. Medium-bodied, it has refined, ripe tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, floating finish. It has a Burgundian aesthetic and is only going to improve with time, as its more umami savory elements start to shine through. Drink 2025-2040.
Moody and haunting black tea, black pepper and beef jus aromas, then flavors of grilled plums, dark cherries, black mushrooms, smoke and peat. So singular and distinctive, with an earthy personality. Medium- to full-bodied with moderate tannins and great depth and length. Drink now or hold.
The 2022 Pinot Noir Ceras wafts up with a florist shop bouquet, mixing shavings of blood orange with sweet lavender, incense and spice. Lifted and pure in form and feel, it offers zesty acidity and crisp red berry fruit, energized by a core of stimulating acidity. Crunchy mineral tones cascade across the palate as a hint of sour citrus combines with tart cherry through the long, nearly electric finale. With just 27.6% new oak, the 2022 Ceras is dangerously approachable yet wonderfully complex.
