Description
La Crema has more than 30 years of experience in crafting fine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines in prime cool-climate coastal sites in California and, since 2012, they have been exploring the opportunities presented by the Pinot-friendly confines of Oregon. Look for this to offer black fruit, spice and dried herbs. It will be a fine addition to a meal featuring roast beef.

Tasting Notes
This medium ruby colored Pinot Noir from Oregon opens with a fragrant and inviting blueberry and black cherry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, viscous, and dense for a Pinot Noir. The flavor profile is a stewed black plum and cola blend with notes of smoky oak, earthy loam, and cinnamon. I also detected hints of stony minerality and pomegranate towards the very end. The finish is dry, and its flavors are nicely prolonged. I would pair this Pinot with a juicy and tender pork tenderloin roast. Enjoy. [Will drink well through 2026+.] Score - 90. (Ken Hoggins, kenswineguide.com, April 15, 2022)
