2018 La Crema Russian River Pinot Noir

2018 La Crema Russian River Pinot Noir

#03-2022

One of my favorite Pinot Noirs has for a long time been the La Crema from Russian River, and once again it does not disappoint.  This is a classic style Pinot Noir from one of the premier vineyard areas in the entire country.  It is pretty hard to beat Pinot Noir grown in Sonoma County's Russian River Valley!

The nose is elegant with the scent of both black and red fruits fresh from the orchard.  The rich flavor suggests plum, blueberry and dark cherry, with a touch of chocolate toward the finish, which has just a hint of oak.  This one certainly begs for another sip!  The alcohol content is 14.5%, and Norm's score is 90.

We have enjoyed this wine many times in the past with grilled meat, and it is also a great match for grilled salmon.

score: 90
price: $32 - $37
