La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Their original name, La Crema Vinera, means “best of the vine,” setting the standard for all they do since 1979. Their family-owned and operated winery focuses exclusively on cool-climate appellations. They are continually exploring these very special regions— passionate in our belief that they make uniquely expressive and elegant wines. The grapes were picked at night or during the cool early morning hours and cold-soaked for three days at 48°F. Next, they were punched down three times a day during fermentation, with no post-fermentation maceration, and racked out of barrel once at the time of blending, just prior to bottling. Aromas of black plum, cherry, rhubarb and hints of earth and loam. Flavours of red plum, raspberry and blood orange are underpinned by distinctive river stone minerality and savoury umami character. Plush and richly textured with juicy yet balanced acidity and integrated toasty barrel spice.
