Production
La Crema has built its reputation around expressive Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from California's finest cool-climate vineyards. This Pinot Noir comes from Sonoma County's Russian River Valley, where the cooling influence of Pacific fog and afternoon breezes allows grapes to ripen slowly, developing aromatic complexity while preserving freshness. The generous 2022 vintage brings ripe cherry and raspberry fruit together with delicate baking spice, black tea, and subtle earthy notes. Richer and more generous than many traditional Burgundian Pinot Noirs, the wine retains the elegance, supple texture, and refreshing that make the variety so appealing. A beautifully balanced California Pinot Noir, combining ripe fruit with sophistication and versatility at the table.
