La Crema Monterey Pinot Noir NV

Voluptuous and sophisticated wine with a deep, polished tactile quality and a satisfying finish. The flavors of cherry, plum, and pomegranate are expertly balanced, while the soft whispers of tea leaf add a touch of sophistication. The zest is well-tuned, and the tannins are elegantly structured, making this a impressive selection for those searching for a sophisticated and contenting trying experience. Enjoyed this wine in Marshfield!

Well-rounded and fascinating wine with a rich, smooth texture. The nose is highlighted by by a deep, bold fruitiness, with traces of earthy suggestions and a delicate spice note. On the palate, the suggestions are equally layered, with a mix of sweet and tart notes, containing opaque cherries, blackberries, and raspberries. A delicate earthy and mushroomy whisper adds density and complexity. The follow through is long and refreshing, with a smooth, round grip and a refreshing acidity. The wine's aging potential is evident, with a sweet, Cali-style style that is both enjoyable and refined.

Decent alternative, but not the one I was hoping for due to the presence of similar offerings from other wineries by the same producer. The wine exhibits characteristics of strawberry, oak, and a accent of smoke, but these suggestions are somewhat muted and lack the nuance and finesse that I had anticipated.
