Ceritas Pinot Noir Trout Gulch 2015

Red cherry, chalk dust, white pepper and violet lift, the Trout Gulch 2015 announces itself with uncommon purity and focus. It's taut and finely drawn, with a vibrant minerality running through the mid-palate that amplifies every note rather than softening them. Acidity is the engine here: precise, insistent, and beautifully integrated. A standout Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot and, by any honest measure, a benchmark for California. Drink now through 2028.
