What to Expect

California has long struggled with Pinot Noir. Finding the right vineyards for this most fickle of grape, one that enjoys a cool growing season yet needs warmth close to harvest to fully ripen, has proven a challenge in such a sunny state. Cooler areas eventually became identified; the Santa Rita Hills, Russian River Valley and Mendocino's Anderson valley are all prime spots for Pinot Noir in California. Unlike the lighter colored and sometimes delicate Pinots of Burgundy, California produces many rich, deep Pinots full of slightly chewy dark berry and cherry fruits with hints of cola, Asian spices and forest floor frequently adding complexity.

Stands the test of time. La Crema has long produced an outstanding Pinot and this like all their others stands up from start to finish.

Consistently a great wine year over year. Perfect for red drinkers that need something a little lighter for the summer months.

1) Nose of Strawberry and cherry with floral and earthy hints.
2) Strong and Powerful yet with smooth mouthfeel and elegant finish.
3) Palate of Strawberries and cherries with hints of truffles, floral and spice. Smooth tannins.
4) Excellent Length.
5) Little pronounced on alcohol but very good balance nonetheless.

This Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir shows the balance and intensity of cool climate fruit, with aromas of red raspberry, blackberry, anise, cola, and cinnamon. The bright cherry, raspberry flavors and balanced acid meld with subtle earthiness and finish with black cherry and clove.
