La Crema’s venture into Oregon has yielded a meaty, earthy Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley. The 2013 exhibits nuances of fall leaves/forest floor, with fruit note of plum and black cherry. With a hint of bite on the finish, this is a Pinot to serve with food, which will give it roundness and length.
