2023 La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir Half Bottle 375ml, California

Half Bottle 375ml

La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a classic cool-climate Californian red, offering a polished yet expressive take on Pinot from one of the most celebrated coastal AVAs. Born from fog-kissed vineyards stretching along the rugged Sonoma coastline, this wine showcases everything that makes the region ideal for delicate, site-driven varietals—cool temperatures, long growing seasons, and soils that range from sandy loam to ancient marine sediments.

La Crema has been a cornerstone of Sonoma winemaking since the late 1970s, with a focus on Burgundian varieties and coastal terroirs. The Sonoma Coast bottling is a flagship expression—crafted to represent the breadth of the AVA while highlighting the finesse, vibrancy, and red-fruited charm that define the region. Grapes are sourced from a mix of estate and grower vineyards, many perched on hillsides that benefit from diurnal shifts and ocean breezes.

In the winery, fruit is hand-sorted and fermented in small lots. Aging takes place in a mix of French oak barrels, with a portion new, to build structure while preserving brightness and aromatic lift. The result is a Pinot that opens with aromas of ripe raspberry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and subtle baking spice. The palate is smooth and layered, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and notes of cherry, pomegranate, and a gentle earthy undercurrent.

La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is approachable and food-friendly, yet refined enough to satisfy lovers of more serious Pinot Noir. It's an elegant companion to duck breast, roast chicken, or wild mushroom dishes.
