La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2015
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, United StatesWell-made, commercial quantities, widely available at a fair price. Okay when is the last time you heard that? The fruit is a mix of estate and grower vineyards but all of it is grown in cool, marine swept vineyards of Sonoma County. The parcels are kept separate until the final blend to allow for a mix that can capitalize on all the best lots. The nose is fresh, the fruit red, with wild strawberry aromas and a pinch of baking spices. The palate is similar with soft, silky textures. It’s 100 percent pinot noir aged in French oak, but only 20 percent is new. Delicious, drinkable and authentic.Tasted: 15 December 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $34.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
