La Crema 2018 Monterey Pinot Noir rippon 2 x 2012/13 La RoubineLa Crema produces premium pinots from Willamette Valley (Oregon) and also Russian River Valley, among other sites, in California. From the Monterey Bay, this long valley stretches south through farmland and rolling hills, always buffeted by the cold winds that sweep in off the Pacific Ocean. Winemaker notes: Bright, juicy, lingering. Extended time on the vine creates an unrestrained flavor profile of bright rich flavors.
