Ceritas is a very exciting project that aims to produce top quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from some of Sonoma County’s most illustrious single vineyard sites.
After acquiring land just east of Hirsch Vineyards, Gard established the original vines at Hellenthal Vineyards. Two key blocks were planted: Old Shop Block and Elliott. The soil, a blend of fractured sandstone and highly decomposed sandstone, offers the perfect conditions for Pinot Noir.
Drinking window: 2020 - 2030
What the critics say:
"Medium ruby, the 2018 Pinot Noir Hellenthal Old Shop Block comes from the Hellenthal vineyard, contiguous to the Hirsch property. The "Old Shop Block" contains the oldest self-rooted Pinot Noir vines on the Sonoma Coast. The nose is like a flower unfurling, beginning with floral perfume, segueing to tea leaves and nori and again to rhubarb and blackberry fruit. The medium-bodied palate is still tightly wound at this early stage but features loads of crunchy, spicy fruits with a gently chalky frame and long, layered and fresh finish."
