Ceritas produces this single-vineyard Pinot Noir from Mt. Pajaro, a vineyard east of Corralitos in the Santa Cruz Mountains, approximately eight miles from Monterey Bay. Farmed by Rhys Vineyards using organic practices, the site features brown and black shale soils shaped by the San Andreas Fault system. The 2023 vintage marks Ceritas's first year sourcing fruit from the vineyard.
Made from heritage Pinot Noir selections, the wine is fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, then aged for 11 months in French oak, followed by five months in stainless steel. It combines concentrated red fruit, bright acidity, and refined structure, reflecting the vineyard's cool coastal climate and distinctive geology.
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Santa Cruz Mountains, California, United States
Farming: Organic practices, dry farming
Style: Red. Dry, chiseled and bright
