Natalie's Score: 93/100

A silky, seductive cool climate California Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast. Morning fog protects the grapes and lengthens ripening while preserving nervy acidity for seafood, roast chicken and turkey. Medium-bodied and delicious!

Pinot Noir food pairings: veal medallions, roasted pork loin, roasted and braised lamb, chicken stuffed with asparagus and goat cheese, venison burgers.

Reviews and Ratings

Lori Kilmartin WSET3 - WSET3 Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

La Crema Pinot's are some of my favourite and I might have more than a few in my cellar. It's my "go to" wine for a California Pinot. The Sonoma Coast Pinot are their entry level wines that deliver for the value. Aromas of ripe cherry, strawberry and an underlying earthiness and vanilla. Ripe cherry and cranberry flavours with smooth lush tannins and just the right amount of acidity to balance with a finish that lingers. I love these wines with a roast pork coated in herbs (rosemary/thyme) but also find it a great wine to sip all on it's own. Tasted April 26/2019 California Wine Fair

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Enjoyed this California Pinot Noir. Silky, smooth, balanced, elegant and accessible. Ripe cherry, raspberry, cranberry. Pairs well with roast chicken, festive turkey dinner, and is easily enjoyable on its own. Tasted 2016 vintage in May 2019 decanted. 90 points

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A lovely California Pinot from the cooler Sonoma region. Aromas of cherry, cranberry, and a hint of warm spice. On the palate there is a nice level of acidity maintained which balances with ripe fruit and spicy notes. Enjoy with grilled pork or chicken.

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A tasty floral and tart cranberry forward uncomplicated Pinot. It’s a light bodied, easy-sipping mouthwatering entry-level California Pinot. Enjoy with smorgasbord of salumi and hard cheeses. Tasted May 2019 by @sommsosa.
