Ceritas makes some of the most pure and precise Chardonnay in Californiacrystalline, mineral, and utterly of its place. In an era when big blockbusters ruled, wines this lean and lifted were once dismissed; today, their nerve and tension feel exactly right. “Marena” comes from the wild West Sonoma Coast, where cold fog and ocean wind keep everything taut. Expect the salinity and cut of Chablis married to the texture only California sun can give. This is a grower’s Chardonnaycoveted, allocated, and worth chasing.
