2017 La Crema Sealift Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast

Medium ruby-purple in the glass, the 2017 Pinot Noir Sea Lift, aged nine months in 35% new French oak, is scented of blueberries, cinnamon toast, crushed red cherries and boysenberry with fragrant earth, potpourri and tobacco touches. The palate is medium-bodied, silky and perfumed with lightly chalky tannins and seamless freshness on the long, spicy finish.

Destemmed and aged 9 months in 35% new French oak, the 2017 Pinot Noir Sealift Vineyard has a spicy, powerful bouquet of red and black fruits, pine forest, iodine, violets, and crushed rocks. This carries to a medium-bodied, juicy Pinot Noir with a firm, focused texture, ripe tannins, and a good finish. It's classic 2017 with its more savory, firm style, but it’s beautifully balanced and will evolve for at least 7-8 years.
