Natalie's Score: 92/100 Fleshy cherry and dark spice with a long, naughty finish. Medium-bodied and satin smooth like lingerie. A supple, smooth red wine with cherry-berry mouth-filling wonder and flavours. Just enough oak for hedonists. Layered yet not heavy. A consistently great producer of classic Californian pinot noir year after year. Love this silky Pinot Noir! It seems to get better every year. Beautiful cherries and field raspberry notes roll in first, then there's fresh earth aromas after a spring rain followed by some baking spices and a long finish. This pinot has been one of my favourites for years. Satin seduction in a glass.

Lori Kilmartin WSET3 - WSET3 Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review: The wines from La Crema are at the top of my list and I always have some in my cellar. I especially love their Pinot Noir. The 2012 was a great example of a very good Sonoma Pinot. Earthy aromas of cherry and raspberry. Some vanilla and spice. Well balanced fruit and acidity with smooth tannins and a long finish. It's become a tradition to have a glass with my granddaughters other Grandma on her birthday weekend. We toasted her with a glass of this vintage yesterday on her third birthday! Tasted May 28, 2016
Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review: One of my go-to labels. Not as well rounded as the 2011 but still a lovely expression of Russian River Valley Pinot. Smooth black plum, cherry, raspberry, leather, oak. A little more heat on the finish than I like but a shy sweetness comes through!
Wanda rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review: Smoke and Berries is easily detected. Bright Ruby colour. Tastes like an aged wine. Balanced and well rounded. Lovely.
Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows: La Cream Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir offers aromas of lush cherry and red plum with subtle hints of black tea and cola. On the palate, flavors are ripe and elegant centering on red cherry and spice with a touch of earthiness and dark chocolate. A rich, juicy mid-palate and vivid acidity lead to plush tannins on the finish. Source: NB Liquor Stores

Bright ruby-red. Lively, floral-accented aromas of red berries and rose, with a subtle peppery nuance in the background. Silky and round on the palate, offering fresh redcurrant and raspberry flavors and a sexy floral pastille nuance. Pure, nicely focused pinot noir with good lingering spiciness.
