"The La Crema Russian River Pinot Noir aromas and flavors of this vintage are textbook Russian River Valley: the nose of rich black cherry and subtle rose petal is highlighted by hints of sassafras and orange peel. The palate is rich and round, with brooding black cherry, cocoa and spice over a noticeably plush texture of broad tannins on a lingering, juicy fruit finish." - Melissa Stackhouse, La Crema Winemaker
