Ceritas Annabelle Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2021

Ceritas Annabelle Pinot Noir 2021 is a refined Sonoma Coast expression that captures everything lovers of cool-climate Pinot Noir look for: purity, elegance, and lift. Crafted with 40% whole clusters, it combines vivid red fruit, subtle spice, and a distinctly earthy edge, all shaped by the coastal influence of one of California’s most admired Pinot Noir regions.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, graceful profile with a translucent ruby hue typical of finely made Pinot Noir. The nose opens with fresh red berries such as raspberry and cherry, lifted by blood orange, earthy undertones, and hints of vanilla and clove. On the palate, the wine is silky and textured, with lively acidity framing the fruit beautifully. Red berries become more intense, joined by darker notes of plum and wild strawberry, while the finish remains long, elegant, and precise, supported by fine tannins and very discreet oak. It has the balance and structure to age gracefully for several years.

Production
Sourced from Sonoma Coast vineyards, the wine reflects a cool maritime terroir that helps preserve freshness, aromatics, and natural tension in the fruit. The use of 40% whole clusters adds aromatic complexity, depth, and a subtle savory layer, while careful élevage in oak is used to support the wine without overpowering its delicate character.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir is a versatile partner for roasted duck, herb-crusted salmon, mushroom risotto, or game birds such as quail. It also pairs well with grilled vegetables and dishes featuring earthy ingredients like truffle or wild mushrooms. Serve slightly cool, ideally around 14–16°C, and decant briefly if desired to let the aromatics fully open.

Producer
Ceritas has built a strong reputation in California for crafting site-driven wines with precision, restraint, and a clear sense of place. Focused on cool-climate vineyards along the Sonoma Coast and other top coastal sites, the winery is especially respected for its elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Its commitment to balance, transparency, and low-intervention winemaking has made it one of the region’s standout producers.
