La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2016
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, United StatesA large production pinot that is a mix of estate and grower vineyards but all within the cool, marine swept boundaries of Sonoma County. The parcels are kept separate until the final blend to capitalize on the best lots. Clones include 23, 37, 115, 667, 777, 828, Pommard, Calera, Swan and Martini. Look for an earthy wild strawberry nose with a dusting of baking spices. On the palate look for cherries, plum, pomegranate and spice. It’s aged in 95 percent French oak, but only 25 percent is new. Delicious, drinkable and authentic.Tasted: 24 October 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $34.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
