Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
La Crema Pinot Noir Monterey 750ml opens with a vibrant, silky texture that makes it an inviting choice for relaxed evenings or celebratory gatherings. With an ABV of 13.5%, this wine is crafted in the United States, specifically from the cool-climate vineyards of Monterey. The region’s coastal influence and meticulous production methods help preserve freshness and balance, resulting in a Pinot Noir that feels both lively and approachable.
On the palate, La Crema Pinot Noir reveals layers of ripe cherry, raspberry, and subtle hints of spice complemented by earthy undertones. These flavors harmonize beautifully with dishes like salmon or mushroom risotto—the wine’s bright acidity cuts through the richness of salmon while its delicate earthiness enhances the savory depth of mushrooms. This pairing brings out both the complexity in your meal and the nuanced character of the wine itself.
Producer Information: La Crema
La Crema is based in the heart of California’s Sonoma County, with its winery located in the Russian River Valley. Established in 1979, La Crema began as a small, family-owned operation focused on cool-climate viticulture. The winery has built its reputation on meticulous vineyard selection and sustainable farming practices, emphasizing minimal intervention to allow the unique characteristics of each site to shine through in their wines.
Beyond their flagship Pinot Noir and Chardonnay offerings, La Crema produces a diverse portfolio that includes varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Rosé. They source grapes from several prestigious appellations including Monterey and Anderson Valley, expanding their range of terroir-driven expressions. While La Crema is primarily dedicated to still wines made from classic Burgundian grapes, they have also experimented with limited releases like single-vineyard bottlings and sparkling wines. Their commitment to quality extends across all labels within their collection, making them a prominent name among California wine producers focused on cool-climate varietals.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast comes from fruit across the appellation including Russian River and Carneros. It aged nine months in 25% new oak. Pale to medium ruby, it has a bright, inviting nose of cranberries, woodsmoke, cola, bergamot and crushed black cherries with accents of earth, sweet spice, citrus peel and flowers. It's light to medium-bodied, silky and bursting with ripe fruits, enlivened by juicy acidity and finishing long and lifted. This is a great value! 253,000 cases produced.

Lively oral components accent the finely textured flavors of red currant and dried red cherry, matched to rm acidity. Lithe and minerally on the finish.
