2023 La Crema Monterey Pinot Noir
#21-2024
At a recent outing to a local eatery, the Chardonnay Queen and I ordered a split ticket. She had the grilled salmon and I indulged in a choice fillet. The wine best suited for both is, and was, a lighter style Pinot Noir, such as the LaCrema Monterey Pinot.
This is a fairly light Pinot Noir, but still stands up well to food. It has the scent of cherries and ripe plums, and has flavors of cherry, raspberry and a hint of strawberry. The alcohol content is 13.5% and Norm's score is 89.
This wine was very good with both salmon and steak, and would also be a good companion for Italian pasta dishes, especially Lasagna.
score: 89
price : $18 - $23
