Natalie's Score: 93/100

Stunning Californian Pinot with the richness and depth that's rarely paralleled in this state. The cool-climate of Monterey is definitely an influence here. Fleshy wild berry notes, some spice. Pair with many chicken and seafood dishes.

Pinot Noir food pairings: prime rib, roast quail, stuffed chicken, venison burgers.

La Crema didn't disappoint me on this one. I'm a big fan of this winery because it delivers consistently above average Pinot. It's an example of the cool climate winemaking philosophy in an ideal setting. Seductive rich aroma of red fruit, earth and spice. Medium body with bursting flavours of red plum and crisp strawberries with some warm spice. Lovely enjoyed over a sunset. Highly recommend at this price point.
La Crema Pinot Noir from Monterey California is a rich, cool-climate PN with ripe, red berry notes and savour spice. Cooling ocean breezes sweep through this winery's vineyards each day offering the perfect terrior to slowly ripen and bring grapes to their full potential. Monterey is one of California's longest growing seasons when it comes to wine grapes. These Pinot Noir grapes are planted on benchlands in the northern reach of the region. - Community Wine Reviews
