Elegant, polished, and beautifully balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more than four decades, La Crema has been dedicated to showcasing California’s premier cool-climate vineyards, and nowhere is this commitment more evident than in the Russian River Valley. Nestled in Sonoma County, this region is internationally renowned for producing Pinot Noir of elegance and depth. Its unique geography - a valley shaped by the Russian River itself - allows cooling fog from the Pacific Ocean to roll in each evening, tempering the sun-filled days and extending the growing season. Combined with well-draining Goldridge soils, these conditions create the perfect environment for Pinot Noir that is both expressive and refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 La Crema Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a vivid expression of this terroir. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, and rose petal lead into layers of black plum, boysenberry, and subtle spice. On the palate, juicy acidity lifts the fruit, while supple tannins provide structure and silkiness. Eleven months in French oak add complexity, with hints of cocoa, black tea, and toasted brioche unfolding through the mid-palate. The finish is long, graceful, and balanced, carrying notes of red fruit and earthy minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine reflects La Crema’s philosophy of artisanal, site-driven winemaking - crafting Pinot Noir that captures both the richness of California fruit and the nuance of the Russian River Valley’s cool-climate character. Elegant enough to serve at fine occasions yet versatile for everyday meals, it is a benchmark example of what has made Russian River Pinot Noir one of the world’s most sought-after styles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crushed Grape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57376081314127,"sku":null,"price":40.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/2550\/0239\/files\/La_Crema_Russian_River_Pinot_Noir.jpg?v=1777639902","url":"https:\/\/crushedgrape.co.uk\/products\/la-crema-russian-river-valley-pinot-noir-2022","provider":"The Crushed Grape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
