La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2017
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, United StatesLook for an earthy, wild strawberry, sweet tobacco nose, and definitely on the cool side. On the palate, the fruit is cherries and plums, with an earthy, spicy undercurrent. The tannin is negligible and easily manages most pinot menu items: duck, mushrooms, root vegetables, soft cheeses and pork. La Crema Sonoma Coast is a well-made, large production pinot 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. The fermentation is done with 70 percent whole berries placed into open-top fermentation tanks. Post ferment, it's aged nine months in 98 percent (20 percent new and dwindling) French oak.Tasted: 10 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $35.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
