La Crema Monterey Pinot Noir 2016
Monterey County, Central Coast, California, United StatesAttractive earthy loam, black plum nose that spills onto the palate. More plummy fruit and very silky tannins makes this a delicious drop. The finish is long and persistent with a spicy umami note. The grapes are cold-soaked for three days at 48°F and then punched down three times a day during the ferment and racked directly to barrel for nine months in 21 percent new French oak with no post-fermentation maceration. The rocky, windswept site is a true home for cool-climate pinot. Grilled salmon or duck confit are a fine match.Tasted: 24 October 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
