La Crema | Sonoma Coast Chardonnay - NV

Aromas of Meyer lemon, pear, and white flowers are supported on the nose by subtle hints of oak. Followed by flavors of crisp apple, tangerine, and pineapple. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and juicy with a lingering finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Hints of almonds and savory herbs in the aroma accompany Bosc pears and vanilla on the palate as this handsome, toasty wine balances fruitiness and an oak-aged spiciness for a complex and complete expression.

• Jeb Dunnuck: Ripe and generous, the 2021 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast pours a shimmery golden hue and delivers honeysuckle, candied lemon, and ripe green apple aromas. This rounded, full-bodied white is approachable with ripe melon, frangipane, and baking spice. It offers a good balance between richness and freshness and is perfect for youthful drinking. A lot of wine for the price, the consistency La Crema achieves at this scale is genuinely impressive.

Producer Information

La Crema is a producer based in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. Established in 1979, it is one of California's most consistent and well-known producers of Burgundian varieties including Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as a more recent addition of Pinot Gris. Jess Jackson of Kendall-Jackson purchased La Crema in 1993, and the winery quickly gained a reputation for making quality wines at value prices. La Crema sources fruit from all over California, including the Anderson Valley in Mendocino, Russian River Valley, Los Carneros, Sonoma Coast, and from Monterey and Arroyo Seco on California's Central Coast. All of these regions are known for producing quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and the wines are bottled by region. More recently, La Crema added Oregon's Willamette Valley to its roster. All wines are bottled regionally, and La Crema's most exclusive wines are the Nine Barrel Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, made from the best nine barrels from the Russian River holdings. La Crema's wines are rich and fruit-forward in style, and the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines see a significant amount of oak. The Pinot Gris is aged in stainless steel, allowing the ripe fruit flavors to shine through.
