2023 Ceritas Pinot Noir 'Cuvee Chloe', Sonoma, California La Salada From a fifty year oldJust east of the town of Occidental is one of the sweet spots for making Pinot Noir. Planted 15 years ago, the shy bearing Swan clone was sourced as a suitcase clone from the famed La Tache vineyard in Vosne Romanee. The Senna vineyard sits in the coolest part of the Green Valley, often colder than vineyards found at a higher elevation. Due to the lower elevation, the fog sweeps into the site earlier and stays longer than sites closer to the cost.
