Ceritas, Occidental Vineyard Pinot Noir other_regions chocolate-covered cherriesThe 2018 Pinot Noir Occidental offers its classic crunchy red and black berry fruit on the nose with accents of saline, tree bark, violet and licorice. The light to medium bodied palate has a fresh, chalky frame and perfumed fruit character, finishing youthfully wound. This will need plenty more time in bottle to show its best.
