La Crema Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2014
Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThis wine has been good for a while and the price is more than fair. Look for a lively spicy entry with bright juicy dark cherry and a wash of dried herbs. The palate is plummy and smooth with a long, warm, spicy finish and round, soft tannins. Perfect oak for the fruit. A well-made pinot noir that should be a restaurant standard, it is a mix of seven clones from eight vineyards aged in 100 French oak but only 20 percent is new.Tasted: 11 July 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $59.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
