Heather Wall rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This label has long been one of my go-to wines for gifting or entertaining. You are getting a bottle of California sunshine when you purchase La Crema Chardonnay. Brilliant sunny lemon colour fills the glass. Rich aromas of apple,pear, white stone fruit, pineapple, toasted oak, butterscotch and vanilla. The palate is voluptuous with creamery butter and vanilla finish. The acidity is cleansing and balanced. It's always a pleasure tasting this wine. Perfect pairings: shellfish, turkey with stuffing, shrimp in lobster sauce.

An elegant nose shows pear and subtle buttered toast. The rich palate shows creamy ripe pear, vanilla and butterscotch with a velvety, creamy mouthfeel and a delicious long vanilla pear finish.

Natalie's Review

La Crema Chardonnay 2013, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, United States: A full-bodied, well-rounded, buttery wine with lovely balancing acidity and citrus fruit notes. Ideal for roast chicken or seafood with cream sauces, as well as lobster in butter. The Chardonnay grapes for this Californian white wine are a regional blend from vineyards in the Russian River valley. Finishes with nuances of fresh golden apple, pear and crème brûlée. Pair with roast chicken. Drink: 2013-2018. 67231 14.50% D 750 mL $54.95 Score: 91/100. April 4, 2015 Perfect Pasta and Tomato Sauce Wine Full Review
