Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: A new offering from the producer, this blends together Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it offers sleek flavors of strawberry puree and brioche that benefit from crisp acidity and stony texture. Balanced and fresh, it finishes in lemon peel and flowers.

• Jeb Dunnuck: The NV Brut Rose is fragrant of fresh strawberry preserves, white flowers, and peach. The palate is fresh and has some snappy lemon citrus as well as light brioche. A great Ros for youthful drinking.

Producer Information

La Crema is a producer based in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. Established in 1979, it is one of California’s most consistent and well-known producers of Burgundian varieties including Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as a more recent addition of Pinot Gris. Jess Jackson of Kendall-Jackson purchased La Crema in 1993, and the winery quickly gained a reputation for making quality wines at value prices. La Crema sources fruit from all over California, including the Anderson Valley in Mendocino, Russian River Valley, Los Carneros, Sonoma Coast, and from Monterey and Arroyo Seco on California’s Central Coast. All of these regions are known for producing quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and the wines are bottled by region. More recently, La Crema added Oregon’s Willamette Valley to its roster. All wines are bottled regionally, and La Crema’s most exclusive wines are the Nine Barrel Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, made from the best nine barrels from the Russian River holdings. La Crema’s wines are rich and fruit-forward in style, and the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines see a significant amount of oak. The Pinot Gris is aged in stainless steel, allowing the ripe fruit flavors to shine through. The wines are readily available across the United States and are frequently encountered internationally.
