Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: We’re in good hands here because, for more than 30 years, La Crema has specialized in producing exceptional Pinot Noirs from the cool Sonoma Coast. Look for soft cherry, spice and herbal flavours and aromas in this velvety Pinot courtesy of winemaker Melissa Stackhouse. Perfect for a cozy evening meal. My note: I adore this Pinot and often order it when I see it on a restaurant list. It delivers so much pleasure and really, asks so little of you other than to sit back and enjoy it. Supple, silky and medium-bodied. Fleshy ripe cherries and strawberries. Oh yes! Food matches: veal tenderloin, grilled salmon.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Lori Kilmartin rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review: I wasn't much of a Pinot fan till I tasted this wine! The aroma's alone are worth buying this for, though you won't be disappointed in the tasting either. This is a wine that's fabulous on it's own or with food - especially pork dishes.
