Ceritas Marena Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2014 RIAS BAIXAS Rich and smooth on theChardonnay Marena is a terrific introduction to the Ceritas wines. Gracious and light on its feet, the 2016 displays lovely energy in citrus, white flower and chalky flavors. I very much like the translucence and delicacy of the Marena. The persistent, clean finish makes it nearly impossible to resist a second taste. This is the sort of wine that is opened and finished in short order.
