The 2019 La Crema Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is an elegant cool-climate Pinot Noir from Oregon’s renowned Willamette Valley. The 2019 growing season was notably cooler than the preceding vintages, producing Pinot Noir with freshness, vibrant acidity and a more refined, classically Oregon character. This release received 91 points from Wilfred Wong of Wine.com, highlighting its brightness and expressive red-fruit profile.
On the palate, it is smooth and supple, with flavours of sweet cherry, raspberry and roasted plum complemented by savoury oak, earthy notes and subtle mineral complexity. Fresh acidity provides balance and energy, while gently rustic tannins add structure without overwhelming the fruit. At 13.5% alcohol, it retains an elegant, food-friendly character with a lingering red-fruited and savoury finish.
