La Crema Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir only reveals its full brilliance in only a few small cool-climate pockets of the world. Russian River Valley happens to be one of them. With the cooling coastal fog that rolls over our estate vineyards each day, Pinot ripens at a leisurely pace. Concentrated, small berries literally burst with flavor, wrapped up in rich spice and plush, round texture. Fresh aromas of boysenberry are supported by deeper tones of anise, espresso bean and earth. The palate expands into black cherry and dark chocolate flavors, rounded by cola and clove. Well-structured and decidedly velvety, the supple tannins and spice linger on a long satisfying finish. California.
