2023 Ceritas Elliott Vineyard Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast, USA Domaine de la Pinte and hints of wild herbThis site captivates us for several reasons. The soil is a mixture of fractured sandstone and highly decomposed sandstone soils, which provide ideal grounds for Pinot Noir. Most importantly, the wine bears forth great earth concentration, bright red fruit, and lingering tannins.
