La Crema Kelli Ann Vineyard Chardonnay 2015
Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesLa Crema is a well known and highly respected brand in the wine business but it was a real pleasure to taste one of its most treasured estate vineyards, Kelli Ann, a site a mere stone’s throw away from the meandering Russian River. There so much definition to this chardonnay, awash in an intense pear, nectarine and apple nose and a palate with a dusting of spice. Rich but fresh, with sweet lemon and citrus in the finish. It’s aged 15 months in French oak but only 39 percent is new.Tasted: 15 February 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $59.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
