Around 175 cases made, depending on the vintage. Rose petal, mint, sage, blood orange, dried herbs, and dark red-toned fruit — savory and quite deep, with 40% whole cluster adding aromatic lift and structural complexity, vibrant acidity from fog-cooled sandstone soils, and a long precise mineral finish that earns 95 points from Vinous without trying. The 2024 Ceritas "Cuvée Chloé" is organically and sustainably farmed 100% Pinot Noir from the DuMol O'Connell Vineyard — a 1.65-acre site in the Sonoma Coast at 300 feet elevation on hard sandstone, eastern aspect, where fog sweeps in early and lingers, keeping the vines cool and pushing every drop of intensity into tiny pea-sized clusters. Hand-harvested, native yeast, 12 months in French oak with 25% new.
