La Crema Pinot Noir Monterey 2017

Bright, juicy and lingering. Aromas of black plum, cherry, rhubarb and hints of earth and loam. Flavors of red plum, raspberry and blood orange are underpinned by distinctive riverstone minerality and savory umami character. Plush and richly textured with juicy yet balanced acidity and integrated toasty barrel spice.

This widely available wine is a great midweek sipper. Light in the glass, it offers clean aromas of pomegranate, hibiscus and light touches of toasty oak. It's soft and mellow on the palate with cranberry, strawberry and tarragon flavors.
