La Crema Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2014, Russian River , United States: The grapes for this full-bodied red wine are grown in Sonoma's Russian River Valley appellation, a cool climate that adds a racy, nervy edge to the wine. This classic Californian red wine is pure liquid satin in the glass! Black cherry seduction with mouth-watering yearning for more. Complex with layered of dark berries that intermingle with a judicious use of oak. Cherry and raspberry jam on the midpalate: rich and delicious. Only about 12,000 cases were produced of the 2014 vintage of this Californian Pinot Noir from the Russian River. Drink now or save for a few years: you have the luxury of that choice with this wine. Pair with holiday turkey. Highly recommended. Drink: 2016-2022. 906404 14.50% D 750 mL  $54.95 Score: 93/100. November 26, 2016 Top Rated Red Wine. Venerated Vegetarian Wine Full Review
