Ceritas Wine Pinot Noir Hellenthal 2020

Ceritas Pinot Noir Hellenthal 2020 is a refined California Pinot Noir that highlights the precision and purity for which Ceritas is known.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby hue with a luminous, translucent quality that signals finesse rather than weight. Aromatically, expect lifted notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and savory spice, with subtle earth and forest floor accents adding complexity. On the palate, the wine is poised and silken, with vibrant acidity and finely knit tannins supporting flavors of ripe red berry, cranberry, tea leaf, and spice. It should reward cellaring, gaining additional nuance and texture over the next several years while retaining its freshness and mineral drive.

Production
Hellenthal Vineyard is known for its distinctive coastal California terroir, where cool influences and carefully managed vines help Pinot Noir develop with tension, aromatic detail, and natural balance. Ceritas is recognized for thoughtful vineyard work and a minimalist approach in the cellar, focusing on harvesting at optimal ripeness and allowing native characteristics of the fruit and site to shine through during vinification.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roast duck, herb-crusted pork, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, and earthy vegetable dishes. Serve slightly cool, ideally around 14–16°C, and consider a brief decant of 20–30 minutes if the wine is very young to help it open up.
