La Crema Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2021 750 ML

The original name, La Crema Vinera, means "best of the vine," setting the winery standard since 1979. The family owned and operated winery is focused exclusively on cool climate appellations, from its original home in the Russian River Valley, to Monterey and Oregon's Willamette Valley. The winemaking team is continually exploring these very special regions, passionate in the belief that they make uniquely expressive and elegant wines. Vineyard site selection and boutique winemaking techniques ensure the consistently distinct, naturally balanced wines we are committed to producing. The La Crema Estate is nestled within the storied Saralee's Vineyard in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Here, the winery has created a premier destination for unparalleled wine education and culinary explorations. La Crema began at a time in the 1970's during which few wineries in California were making Pinot Noir, and even fewer were doing so with a single vineyard focus. From the start, La Crema was inspired by Burgundian style Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with a focus on small lot production that nurtured distinct flavors and balance of unique wine growing regions. Initially, La Crema focused efforts on developing wines from the Sonoma Coast, deemed the next great appellation for Pinot Noir, using artisan, boutique style production techniques, like gentle handling, precision sorting, and crushing grapes in small batches. At La Crema, excellence in the bottle begins in the vineyard.
