It’s not always easy to find a new release Pinot Noir with a little bit of bottle age, but here it is. La Crema’s 2016 vintage from the iconic Saralee’s Vineyard offers a Pinot of uncommon depth and complexity, shows beautifully integrated tannins and it’s ready to drink now. Complex notes of raspberry, strawberry and cherry come together in a dazzling display of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir at its very best.
