Sourced from marine sedimentary and volcanic soils across top AVAs, this wine reflects the region’s complexity and balance. Aromas of lemon, key lime, fresh apple, and honeysuckle lead to a palate of lemon curd, white peach, and a touch of vanilla. Vibrant acidity lifts the richly textured, mouth-filling finish. A refined, expressive wine with energy and depth.
When La Crema was founded in 1979, the Russian River Valley had yet to establish itself as one of California’s most important regions for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The first few vintages at La Crema were devoted to learning the intricacies of cold-climate viticulture and winemaking. In 1993, Jess Jackson bought La Crema. With the help of winemaker Dan Goldfield, he elevated the quality of the wines and enhanced the winery’s reputation as a top producer of Burgundian varieties in California. The unifying factors with all of these sites are their cool, windy climates and marine-based soils.
