2022 Ceritas Pinot Noir 'Cuvee Chloe', Sonoma, California
$99.00
Just east of the town of Occidental is one of the sweet spots for making Pinot Noir. Planted 15 years ago, the shy bearing Swan clone was sourced as a suitcase clone from the famed La Tache vineyard in Vosne-Romanee. The Senna vineyard sits in the coolest part of the Green Valley, often colder than vineyards found at a higher elevation. Due to the lower elevation, the fog sweeps into the site earlier and stays longer than sites closer to the cost.
Shallow sandstone soils coupled with dry farming and meter by meter spacing allow the naturally small vines to produce small, intense, pea-sized berry clusters resulting in a wine with great intensity and finesse at the same time. Ripening in a meter-by-meter vineyard is much slower, allowing depth and concentration without sacrificing aromatic power and high natural acidities.
