La Crema Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 750ml

La Crema was founded in 1979 and is part of Jackson Family Wines, with its winery on Slusser Road in Windsor, California. Craig McAllister has been chief winemaker since 2017.

This is 100% Pinot Noir and a broad blend from across the cool Sonoma Coast appellation rather than a single vineyard. The 2021 drew on estate vineyards near Annapolis and in the Petaluma Gap plus growers, with just under a third from the Russian River Valley, and spent six months in French oak, 19% new. The 2023 is 13.5% alcohol and IWCA certified for sustainability.

The 2023 shows red fruit and mocha aromas, then red cherry, blood orange, dark berry and spice, with fine tannins and balanced acidity leading to a long finish.

Against Josh Cellars Pinot Noir, La Crema comes from the cool Sonoma Coast rather than a statewide blend; for a Pinot with a clearer sense of place, choose La Crema.

Pair it with bacon-wrapped stuffed dates and even chocolate mousse.
