The Offer:
Offered subject to remaining unsold and available from our Singapore cellars now.
2021 Ceritas, Elliott Pinot Noir
SGD $750 ($817.50 inc GST) per case (1×6) OC – 7 cases available
99 Points Audrey Frick
“The 2021 Pinot Noir Elliott is packed with layered aromas of gravelly mineral earth, framboise, and wild herbs. Profound and balanced, with outstanding structure and gripping ripe tannins, it reveals notes of crunchy cherry, fresh earth, and a refined, elegant perfume on the finish. It continuously evolves in the glass and is an absolutely stunning and singular wine. Drink 2025-2045.”
2021 Ceritas, Annabelle Pinot Noir
SGD $750 ($817.50 inc GST) per case (1×6) OC – 1 case available
96 Points Antonio Galloni
“The 2021 Pinot Noir Annabelle is all class. Brisk and delineated with tons of energy, the 2021 sizzles. Dark red/purplish fruit, crushed flowers, spice, tobacco and graphite all open in the glass. There is a baritone expression of fruit that adds darkness but without overpowering the wine. Tannins are also quite present, yet the wine’s balance is exceptional.”
2021 Ceritas, Hellenthal Pinot Noir
SGD $730 ($795.70 inc GST) per case (1×6) OC – 14 cases available
95 Points Antonio Galloni
“The 2021 Pinot Noir Hellenthal Old Shop Block is another searingly intense wine in this lineup of young Pinots. Accordingly, readers should be in no rush. Chalk, white pepper, incense, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, blood orange and mint meld into a core of red-toned fruit. Bright acids and vibrant tannins give the wine its shape and overall drive.”
2021 Ceritas, Occidental Pinot Noir
SGD $1,020 ($1,111.80 inc GST) per case (1×6) OC – 8 cases available
97 Points Antonio Galloni
“The 2021 Pinot Noir Occidental Vineyard is an absolutely riveting wine. Soft, plush tannins wrap around a core of red berry fruit, blood orange, rose petal, mint, wild flowers and lavender. Sensual and racy, with mind-blowing balance, the 2021 is magnificent. Bright saline accents linger on the explosive finish. The 80% whole clusters are pretty much buried. Don’t miss it.”
2021 Ceritas, Trout Gulch Chardonnay
SGD $630 ($686.70 inc GST) per case (1×6) OC – 8 cases available
96 Points Antonio Galloni
“The 2021 Chardonnay Trout Gulch is lights out. Crushed rocks, white pepper, mint, citrus peel and dried flowers offer tons of palate-staining intensity. As always, the Trout Gulch is intensely saline and mineral, with a bit of youthful austerity that needs time to soften.”
2021 Ceritas, Zephyr Chardonnay
SGD $600 ($654 inc GST) per case (1×6) OC – 14 cases available
96 Points Audrey Frick
“The 2021 Chardonnay Zephyr pours a vibrant straw with green highlights and opens in the glass to notes of lime blossom, chive, and hints of tropical fruit and sea spray. It retains ripeness throughout, with fresh lime, green apple, white flowers, and fresh herbs, as well as saline and sea spray. Drink this over the next decade.”
2020 Ceritas, Colima Cabernet Sauvignon
SGD $690 ($752.10 inc GST) per case (1×6) OC – 13 cases available
97 Points Audrey Frick
“The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Colima, a blend from five different vineyards, pours a deep ruby hue and offers pure, layered, red-fruited aromas of fruit punch and framboise along with pine and pencil shaving. The palate reveals fine tannins, with outstanding refinement of structure, notes of ripe redcurrant, gravelly earth, and forest herbs, and fresh acidity throughout. This vibrant and high-toned, energetic wine captures what Cab from Sonoma can be all about.”
2019 Ceritas, Peter Martin Ray Cabernet Sauvignon
SGD $1,200 ($1,308 inc GST) per case (1×6) OC – 8 cases available
96 Points Antonio Galloni
“The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Peter Martin Ray Vineyard is outrageously great. Dark, virile and imposing, the 2019 offers up a heady mix of dark fruit, leather, incense, sage, violet and crushed autumn leaves. This savory, old-school Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet is fabulous. I also tasted the 2015, which is aging at a glacial pace. Although John Raytek is known for his Chardonnays and Pinots, his Cabernets are every bit as compelling.”
