The 2022 La Crema Russian River Pinot Noir is a beautifully polished California Pinot Noir from Sonoma’s renowned Russian River Valley, showcasing richness, elegance and classic cool-climate character. The nose is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of red cherry, raspberry and rose petal alongside hints of baking spice, dark chocolate and subtle earthy notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky texture, plush fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Juicy flavours of boysenberry, plum and spice are balanced by gentle oak influence and savoury complexity, leading to a long, smooth and refined finish. The style is rich yet elegant, combining Californian generosity with freshness and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Pinot Noir for customers who enjoy silky, fruit-driven reds with depth, subtle oak and excellent balance rather than heavy extraction. Perfect with duck, roast chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes or charcuterie. Enjoy now or cellar comfortably over the next 5–8 years.
