Ceritas Hellenthal Vineyard 'Old Shop Block' Pinot Noir 2022

Ceritas Hellenthal Vineyard 'Old Shop Block' Pinot Noir 2022 is a finely detailed Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir that showcases the cool-climate elegance Ceritas is known for. Sourced from the oldest part of Hellenthal Vineyard—an original-rooted parcel farmed biodynamically—it offers a rare sense of place and a nod to the vineyard’s long-standing heritage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a clear ruby-red color with appealing brightness. The nose is lifted and precise, offering fresh cherry and raspberry fruit layered with subtle herbal tones. The palate is medium-bodied, vibrant, and beautifully structured, with crisp acidity and fine tannins supporting a graceful, composed finish. Earthy nuances, a touch of licorice, and a hint of citrus add complexity, and while it is ready to enjoy now, it should continue to evolve nicely over the next 5-10 years.

Production
This Pinot Noir comes from the oldest section of Hellenthal Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, where the vines are planted on their own roots and cultivated biodynamically. The cool maritime climate helps preserve freshness and aromatic precision, while the vineyard’s heritage site and careful farming contribute depth, tension, and character to the finished wine.

Food & Serving
A natural match for duck, lamb, game, or mushroom-driven dishes, this wine is best served slightly cool, around 14-16°C. Decanting is optional but can help open up its aromas if enjoyed young.
